I’ve upgraded from self employed app (which I LOVED) and how do I do a cash receipt?. I deal mainly in cash. How do I do this?.

Dashboard doesn’t look like it does in the App Store and I am upgraded to the latest version of the app. Help suggests doing things which do not exist in the app. I am a gigging musician who deals in cash. I cannot enter a new customer as that customer exists in imported transactions from the old QB self employed app but does not show up as a customer in this app. I need to do everything on the app. I can’t find how to generate tax info in the app.

I’ve upgraded from self employed app (which I LOVED) and how do I do a cash receipt?. I deal mainly in cash. How do I do this?.

Transitioning from QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) to a more advanced platform can be an adjustment, Sarah. Let me share some details.

 

To assist you better, may i ask what version you have upgraded from QBSE?

 

Please note that the option to create a cash receipt is unavailable. Instead, you can make an invoice and manually mark it as paid.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click on Dashboard.
  2. Under the Quick Actions section, choose Invoice.
  3. Add your customer, product, or service.

 

After creating your invoices, record the payment and choose Cash in the Deposited to dropdown menu.

 

Regarding the Help suggestion you're referring to, those are designed to guide and suggest how to optimize your QuickBooks experience. 

 

You can click on the X or No, thanks button to prevent the pop-ups from showing up again.

 

If you’re unable to add a customer because they already exist in the app but aren’t appearing in the system, try refreshing the app to ensure everything is updated and functioning properly.

 

Let’s first ensure you have a strong and stable WIFI or cellular data connection. If the connection is stable, try restarting or refreshing the app and device to clear any temporary bugs. Here’s how:

 

  1. Go to Settings and select General.
  2. Tap iPhone Storage and choose the QuickBooks Online app.
  3. Select Offload App to free up space while retaining the app's data and documents.

To generate your tax information, I recommend using a web browser, as the app has limited functionality for this feature. You can use in the Taxes section.
