Credit Card payment showing up twice on Profit and Loss Statement

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, nschlag.

I can help you figure this out and remove the bill payment from your Profit and Loss statement.

Running the Profit and Loss using the Cash accounting method will display the Unapplied Cash Bill Payment Expense. This account shows up when:

• a bill payment for a vendor is recorded before entering the bills
• if you entered bill payments without matching them to bills

When you see it on your Profit and Loss report, click the total amount. Take note of the vendor and amount for each bill payment in the list. Then, follow these steps below to remove them from your report: 

1. Go to the + New menu. 
2. Select Pay bills.
3. Select the checkboxes next to them if you see bills matching the bill payments in the list, then Save.

 Otherwise, follow these steps below to create it:

1. Go to the + New menu, then select Bill.
2. Fill out the form with the same vendor, amount, and date as the bill payment, then click Save.
3. Repeat the steps for any bill payments left on the list.

Once done, rerun your Profit and Loss report.

Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately, that solution doesn't work. I had already previously entered a bill for this payment, and matched it to the bill payment in the banking screen. And yet the cash payment still shows up on the P&L report. Is there another thing to try?

Hi there, nschlag.

I'm here to share some possibilities as to why the bill payment shows up on the Profit and loss report.

The transaction may be a duplicate, or you experience browser-related issues.

You can verify if it's a duplicate by clicking the amount on the report. Ensure that it's not linked to any transaction. From there, you can delete it.

If it's not a duplicate, you can follow the steps below to resolve browser issues. 

Try running the report on a private window. Here is a list of keyboard shortcuts to open one:

• For Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• For Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• For Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
• For Safari: ⌘+ Shift + N

If everything's good, you can go back to a regular browser and clear its cache. Piled browser history can be the reason for some issues on the page. 

You may also switch to a different browser like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge.

In addition to this, if you want to add or remove data on the report, you can personalize it. Here's an article for reference:
