Hi, @karima786.
Please know that changing your fiscal year or the start of your financial year will also change the dates in your report. However, your data will not change, so you can enter the dates when you need to see the data in your previous financial year.
Follow these steps to change the start of your fiscal year in the settings:
- Open your QuickBooks Online (QBO).
- Click on the Gear icon and choose Accounts and Settings.
- Select the Advanced tab and click on the Accounting section.
- Choose January for the first month of the fiscal year option.

- Click Save, and then Done.
Once done, you can now start pulling up reports that contain your transactions for the previous and current FY.
For more information on taxes, forms, filings, payroll, and other Year End activities, make sure to check out our Year End Guide.
