QuickBooks Q&A

Hello everyone. I’m wondering if anyone can help. I have decided to give quickbooks self employed a go to save time on laptop etc.  just a couple of things I’m worried about. I do mostly private work as a decorator. however sometimes I work for contractors as a sub contractor. this means say I bill for 100.00. They will take 20% off and only pay me 80.00. So my invoices for them once paid will be 20% less than I billed for. how do I get around that as every bill to them will look like they have only paid 80% of the bill so would t mark as being paid. I usually give my accountant a ton of paper work. But if I use quickbooks is there a way to just create an actual file of all the quickbooks transactions for the past year and send it to them ? I really hope someone can help with these two questions as looking at quickbooks it looks a lot easier and less time consuming than hard copies of everything.

I don't understand how my VAT bill is so high and why my 'paid on purchases' figure is a negative?

I can continue using this on my main company account but the other one, I never really set it up. I was just testing. How can get the duplicate charges refunded?

Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help, I have been using quickbooks to log all my expenses and sales etc, and ran a report recently to see where I was at this year and it has come back with 'telephone' being one of my highest expenses of £1.6k. When I looked in to this further, I've reached 'telephone' and its ran a report, and lots of non expense items have been marked under my telephone bill, could I ask for help on how to correct this, and why it might be making this error, when I didn't categorise any of those as my telephone bill.  Many thanks Adrienne

Hi, I completed my first pay run in December and have now received a number of P6 notices. I have checked and found out my email was incorrect on the HMRC notice page so I have corrected that today.Will QB now automatically update the P6 notices issued before today or will I need to manually update?

How do I track mileage for specific jobs that are not billed to customer? Desktop version was very simple with a dropdown box with customer list to assign the mileage to. 

I have an ex customer that I set up a subscription to do his accounts. He has now left my business and I want to stop his subscription and he does not require it. How do I cancel his subscription?

Hi, I'm new here and whilst most things are fairly simple, I need a little help with marking payments for a Private Pension and also Charity Payments.  Whilst none of these expenses are 'business' in nature and are therefore personal, I still need to have them included in my self assessment tax return.    If I mark them as business they go down as other business expenses - but they are not a business expense - just something I need to capture in my tax return and don't want to lose sight of.  How do other people deal with this?  Thanks   

In sales, customer, I can see the invoice and it's marked as paid. But how do I categorised it? Thanks in advance.

When I was reviewing my 2023 reports I accidentally found out that one bank transaction is missing from QB. I know how to fix it, but now I lost faith in QuickBooks and second guessing every report. What is the best way to double/triple check that QB has all the transactions from my bank accounts? I have 10+ bank accounts "synced" with QB.

I closed a business and therefore connected my bank accounts to my new business. I need to look at my old businesses bank transactions but the bank is no longer there.where else can I look

You have a help page on how to use Starling spaces and to treat them like a transaction to another account.  However you do not detail how you can reconcile the bank account on Quickbooks to the bank statement because surely it is going to be different because Starling still treats the bank statement as the whole amount and in Quickbooks the spaces are in separate accounts?
