Adding Expenses to Invoices

Hi all,

 

I've just started using Quickbooks Self-Employed Sole Trader, to charge for my hours for a company.

The role involves driving and parking, which the company wishes to charge as an expense to them.

In the past when writing my own invoices, I'd create a separate table to record the expenses separate to work charges on the invoice.

 

When creating invoices and charging for my hours, I can not find a tab to add these expenses separate to my work.

Do I just have to record as a work transaction and not an expense? I am worried this will mess up the in app calculations for tax season.

Adding Expenses to Invoices

Hi James678, thanks for posting on the Community 

 

There isn't a feature to add an expense/billable expense to an invoice in QuickBooks Self-Employed. 

 

Instead, you would enter separate lines on the invoice (with a minus symbol beside the amount if you want this to reduce the overall invoice total). 

 

Please note, any income received from the invoice should be entered separately on the Transactions page and tagged as Business income. Likewise, any expenses should also be entered on the Transaction page and tagged with the relevant category, so that your tax can be estimated accurately. 

 

Thanks for reaching Intuit support. We're just a post away if you have further questions.
