Hi All,I am in my second year filing using Quickbooks my question is related to Scottish Income Tax Bands. We have different calculations including a 19% starter rate and under QB online Taxes this was calculated all correct at my 23/24 in November last year. Trying to start 24/25 and no longer have the correct scottish tax bands. QB customer chat advised they only recognise 1257L not S1257L even though it was correct last year and there is a tax region under settings for calculating income tax anyone else came across this?Thanks 

I am preparing a VAT return with is showing some exceptions on sales made over 12 months ago (with VAT at 20%), which at the time were correctly submitted on the return and VAT calculated. The exception also includes a sale for the exactly the amount / customer but on a sale and transaction that never happened.  I mistakenly corrected that date back 12 months. How can I check what has happened to those sales (possible adjustments etc) to make them now appear as adjustments, or how can I check they had VAT calculated / paid at the time on the return?

Hi, I manually recorded January payroll manually using the approach in this article - https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/write-checks/manually-enter-payroll-paychecks-quickbooks-online/L8Ibk0vix_US_en_US?uid=m6ifv4qb I now have a journal entry in quickbooks for my employees that looks like this:AccountsDebitsCreditsPayroll Expenses - Wages1,000 Payroll Liabilities - PAYE 100Payroll Liabilities - PRSI  100Bank account 800 This works for me I think as it records the January payroll and tracks the tax liability. Revenue have just taken the January payroll tax and now my bank account needs to be reconciled. How do I do this? I think I'll need to create a journal entry with a Bank account Debit column Credit column of 200 to match the uncategorised bank transaction. Is that right? But how do I remove the payroll liability now that it has been paid? Thanks in advance, John

Hey guys, Hoping someone here can help me with this question. We're a new company trying to post our vendor invoices to Quickbooks and I'm coming across this issue. I need to post my vendor invoices so that it is hitting the COGS account of material while also hitting the cost codes that we've set up. We've turned on the Product/Service to be shown on the vendor bills, but when we put in the COGS account of Material, then we can't put in the cost code applied to that line. Alternatively, if we put in the cost code in the section below, we can't post it to the general ledger account, Material. It seems that you can only post to one or the other and I need it post to both. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

I am trying to connect my bank (hsbc). It says it’s connected on my online banking (sharing data) but quickbooks says no bank is connected. I’ve tried reconnecting - everytime it gets halfway through and then freezes. There is no helpline to call. Your product is terrible, your customer service is worse. 

My bank feed wasn't working. I reconnected my bank and its removed the majority of my past data. Thankfully I had just completed my self-assessment but I need it back! What can I do?

At present, I am using three different software programs for different aspects of our lives to prepare information for our accountants. I would like to simplify things - get the services of a bookkeeper and only use one program.My wife and I have several long-term rental properties and two holiday-let properties, and I also run two property-related Ltd companies. All need separate records, and there are three different end-of-years. Also, my wife is an artist, and I am an author. Would we be able to use Quickbooks to extract different reports? If so, what would be the cheapest and most suitable plan? We are not VAT registered and do not employ anyone.

why does it take a minimum of 3 clicks to print anything on QBO !!!!  it is such a pain......  have I missed something ?

i am currently using quikbooks self employed via the app. I have been in contact with support and have had no solutions, they have suggested the nee sole trader and simple start but they tell me it doesn’t allow it either. How do people show in quikbooks paying invoices if you have an account with a supplier and you receive the statement with 4 separate invoices for the statement total? how do you upload 4 separate invoices against the 1 statement total that is pulled in from your bank when you pay that total amount. currently I have to pay every invoice seperately on the statement which is not very efficient. thanks for your help  

One of my client have 2 companies running together. It's a hotel and have 2 separate companies, but on store. They are Entering Purchased bill in one inventory file using "Enter Bill". And now they want to write the checks from two companies, some checks from "company A" and some bill payments from "Company B". also they need to print reports with two different  heading according to the company details. because they need to send those report to the audit and relevant tx departments. Also that Item list they are issuing to different department such as Kitchen, Pastry, BAR.. etc. There are 4 workers working on these job and now they are doing in 3 different company file. but it is difficult and  wasting time.  So, Is there any way to do these thing in one company file.

Hi,I am new to this forum and also new to VAT return filing. The first quarter of VAT return filing went very well all ok and I manage to submit to HMRC.   and the next quarter did the same way on all the expenses bills,but I have an issue with the VAT return,The total VAT claim for this quarter is £169, No VAT on sales, so its pretty simple only one expense.After recording all the expenses QB online is showing only £15.67 are claimable.

Hi I'm trying to find a quicker way to input my weekly sales.  We currently have 28 pubs and have yo put the sales in manually every week and was wondering if we can  manually import sales transactions into QuickBooks using a csv file?

I have been using the app and service for the last few months, I managed to sort all my transactions between personal and business stuff. But this morning I went into the app to sort the newest expenses and over 500+ transactions needing sorting which had already been sorted beforehand. Essentially doubling all my earnings and expenses when they have already been sorted. Why is the service constantly acting up like this and what the hell am I supposed to do? I'd like to avoid having to sort out almost an entire year worth of transactions.

I have set up all MY VAT however I'm showing as a negative balance  when "preparing Report for VAT" im on the FRS 8.5%  - so all sales have 8.5% added to my VAT balance ( correct ) my problem right at the bottom  gain/loss  - negative . i have noticed some transactions for expenses have 20%  applied to it which i think where the problem laysbecause i cant claim back VAT ( being on FRS ) should all my expenses be 0% VAT paid , as i cant claim this back anyways ? or I'm i required to put 20% as i technically paid 20% on that expense i know this is the culprit , as if i go to a large transaction, and make the 20% vat, 0% - it reduces the negative balance. however i cannot work out how to make the 20% transactions in the past 0% - only the rules for the future transactions could anyone shed some light please ? 

Hi, I hope you can help.  I am an etsy seller based in the UK and I am new to using quickbooks.  I have setup my quickbooks as a sole trader and have also used the Etsy integration app to transfer my sales data.   As my business is still quite small, most of the money I make from Etsy is used up for advertising, listing fees, etc so any profit I make very rarely makes it to my personal bank account which is my only bank account which I use for everything.  I don’t buy many supplies, etc either as most of my orders are digital files and require very few supplies.  So I don’t want to connect my bank account to my quickbooks. My question is: As the etsy integration app only imports my transactions, not all the data from etsy.  How do I manually add these fees to my quickbooks.  I am assuming this is done through expenses but don't know which fields, etc I have to add.  Also I have created csv files from etsy which include listing fees, pro

I’m having trouble submitting payroll in QuickBooks. I have two employees—one who has left but still appears in the system and one current employee. Both are on zero hours. When I try to report for the week, QuickBooks won’t let me submit without entering hours. If I uncheck both employees to exclude them, it still won’t allow submission. As a result, I’m receiving late filing notices from HMRC. However, since no hours were worked, there’s nothing to report. How can I submit the required report without entering hours?

Hi, I have an employee who was dismissed on 12th February and has taken more paid leave than allowed. Firstly, I can’t find a clear answer to run his final pay check, secondly, how do I make the right deductions???? I essentially need to calculate that he worked from 1-12th Feb, deduct 9.5 days of paid leave. My calculations come around the £300 mark from a £46,000 a year salary. Any help please???

every time I try to enter a value in 0.00 column its taking me to the Adjust page.  This has never happened before and the quick books assistant doesnt seem to help.  Any ideas ?Thanks.

We bill our tenants monthly for association dues. On our old software, we recur the invoices and only add the outstanding unpaid balances on every billing/invoice. After printing and sending them to the tenants, we delete the outstanding balances we put in order to leave the current bill. How do you do this in QB in a way that when I put the outstanding, it doesn't add more amount but only shows the unpaid previous billing?

We already are familiar with how to create a bill from a purchase order, but is there a way to link a PO to an existing bill which has already been paid? One of our team paid the invoice before we marked the PO as received; as a result, we are generating a second bill for the same item. Obviously we can remove the duplicate, but we would like to be able to link the PO to the bill for reporting continuity. Is this possible to do the other way round? I can't find any articles on this.
