My Total expenses figure is too high as expenses are shown under a specific category and 'Everything else' Why is this happening?

Let me help you figure out why total expenses show too high, @info1681

 

If you're referring to the total expense that shows in the report, we can open this to verify what's causing the issue. To do this, here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Go to the Reports menu at the left panel.
  3. In the Find report by name field, search and choose the data that shows the total expenses. 

  4. Select the period and click Run report.
  5. In the statement, click the amount in question. 

 

Then, you can perform some adjustments once you found the root cause behind the excessive total expenses. 

 

If you're referring to something else, please let me know. I appreciate any extra information you can give, and it will help us isolate the issue and provide the best solution. 

 

Additionally, I've attached an article you can read in managing expenses in QuickBooks Online. It includes steps on how to edit, review and delete them in your account. 

 

Always know that we're happy to help you with the questions about expenses in QuickBooks. Feel free to post them here again. You take care!

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply

In the dashboard under Total Expenses the 'Everything Else' category has expenses that are also displayed in categories such as 'Advertising'. This inflates the "Everything Else' figure.

 

Does that make sense?

 

Thanks,
