Paid invoices are not showing up as income

Hi there, todd.  I have details to share and to answer your questions about invoices and income in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

In QuickBooks Self-Employed, an invoice is a sales form that helps you bill customers and track payments. However, it's not considered income until you categorize the actual payment or deposit in QuickBooks. This means that paid invoices won't automatically show up as income; instead, you need to record the payment and categorize it correctly to recognize the income.

To learn more about creating an invoice and what happens when you send it, see this article: Create invoices in QuickBooks Self-Employed

That being said, all we need to do is categorize the invoice payments accordingly so that they show up as income. Here's a link for your convenience: Categorize transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed.
