EFS (Electronic Fund Source) Wex Company

HI, I have Quickbooks Online I am wondering if I should have gotten QuickBooks Self Employed? However, I am having issues linking my bank information to Quickbooks Online due to having a EFS Card (Electronic Fund Source) Wex Company- the company we are leased to, pays the Self-Employed Driver on the card when a load is delivered this is also how he pays for fuel, expenses, etc. I am unable to add it as a bank... wondering if anyone has any ideas? Should I have gotten a different quickbooks product??

Let me help clarify your concerns and provide alternative options for tracking your financial transactions, Jenna.

 

QuickBooks Online (QBO) is best suited for small businesses that handle a wide range of financial tasks, including budgeting, payroll, and reporting. In contrast, QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) is specifically designed for freelancers and independent contractors, focusing on simplifying income, mileage, and expense tracking, with the primary goal of preparing for yearly tax filings.

 

When deciding between QBO and QBSE, it often comes down to your long-term accounting needs. However, it's important to note that neither platform currently supports connecting an Electronic Funds Source (EFS) card. This is because EFS cards are not classified as traditional bank accounts or payment cards.

 

While direct integration of your EFS card isn't an option, we can manually upload your transactions into QuickBooks Online.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Log in to your EFS/Wex account and download your transaction history in CSV format.
  2. In QuickBooks Online, go to the My Apps menu and select Accounting, then Bank Transactions.
  3. Select the Or upload Transactions manually option and follow the prompts to map and import your file.image (38).png
  4. Once imported, you can categorize the transactions to reflect your fuel costs, expenses, or income.

 

Additionally, you can create and record transactions manually in QuickBooks Online.

 

You may also want to explore third-party apps that integrate with QuickBooks and specialize in financial data conversion or integration with fleet/expense cards.
