Hello - I'm interested in launching Quickbooks as my new accounting software but before I purchase I need to find out if it will allow me to back date a year of entries. I plan to enter the full year of 2019 next year during 2020 because I have no time to do it this year. Meaning I'll be back dating all of my entries for 2019 during the year of 2020. And then of course getting 2020 up to date. Hope to have this done before March. Will Quickbooks allow me to back date the year during a different year? I've been told yes it can do it. And, I've been told no it will not do it on the same computer - I would need to input 2019 on one computer and 2020 on a different computer and then the years would never communicate. And, I've been told no it won't back date at all. My companies have minimal transactions. Thank you for any help you can offer.
You can entry backdate in QuickBooks and use 3rd party migration tool to minimize your manual effort. You should open a new thread for your case.
I have a client using Community to seek any information. Unfortunately since last week, he couldn't sign into Community any longer and always get the landing page of QuickBook Help. He can still signing into CAMPS with the same credential. When he signed into Community with his second credential, he noticed his first credential is vanished and it appears Anonymous (rank N/A). Is he banned and blocked by Moderator? How to recover it?
Hi Michael,
Quick question, today I earned the Super Explorer rank. While this is exciting I don't really know what it means. Is there a place I can see the different rankings and requirements and what they mean exactly?
@Easton at J E Cole Bookkeeping
Hello again, Easton.
That's a good question. Generally, these ranks are a combination of multiple factors, such as engagement, cheers, and even the profile.
There is a correlation between the asterisks and ranking, with three of them (***) being the highest possible. You may have noticed that several prolific users have the title of Established Community Backer ***, which is the highest of these roles. Also, @LisaNullar submitted a thread yesterday with information about the new Intuit Community Champions Program, which you may wanna check out.
I don't believe there's a guide with the specific requirements, and I'm going to submit a content request with my team. In the meantime, I'd recommend doing what you're doing. For example, I was going to reference badges but noticed you already have ten of them :).
As always, I'm just a few clicks away should you have any questions. Take care, my friend.
Thanks David, not only for the response but for always being around to answer these questions. I know I'm not the only one who is glad you're here.
The Community Champions program looks awesome! I'll defintely be following that and happy that I have a goal to work towards on here. I love collecting/completing things and so that badges have been a goal of mine. I missed a day yesterday of activity so I'm back to working on the daily log in for a month. I'll keep working on those and just keep doing what I'm doing, answering the questions I can and engaging with the community. Thanks!
@Easton at J E Cole Bookkeeping
You're most welcome, Easton. I'm happy to do it.
It's nice to have you and your input in the Community as well.
The new Community Champions program is something that I'm excited about too. There are some really neat benefits that I can't wait to see.
For what its worth, the 30-Day streak has been an elusive button for me also. Something always comes up, and I forget on like the 27th day to log in. We might end up racing for it ;).
Cheering you to a wonderful weekend!
Hello QuickBooks, I'm working with QuickBooks Desktop 2020 and I'm having difficulties making a "bank to bank transfer" between enabled bank feeds and non-enabled bank feeds accounts. By selecting "save and close" to an non-online transfer between a non-enabled and enabled bank account, I see from my bank feeds the transfer is completed, however the transfer comes up with in-sensibility to be "matched" with my current bank balance with being re-fresh and "approved". Is it possible since the "transaction" is new or because the transfer never took place to my bank account? As well, I'm not sure if the bank transfer between each account is "transferred" and will show in my bank balance. There is no recollection or feasible bits of information showcasing that it's an option or a possibility. Can you please assist and help me in this manner? Thanks.
It is both, sharpcollection.
QuickBooks is your virtual record of your transactions. Though you can create a non-online bank transfers, it won’t happen in the actual bank. This will only affect your QuickBooks register balance.
The transfers will show once you do it on your actual bank account. Then you'll be able to download these transactions.
Match the transactions when they are ready on your Bank Feeds Center.
I am excited to be part of this community. I have been a National Trainer teaching QuickBooks for the last 11 years. I also use QuickBooks for my companies that I run.
Best software around for ease of use for the non accountant running a business.
Hit me up if you have questions.
Thanks

I have searched high and low throughout this community, and I can't for the life of me find where to post an original topic. I would like to post in the Errors and Troubleshooting section, but I can only view existing articles; I see no option to create my own. Please let me know how I can start a new discussion in a specific section.
Thanks!
Hi there, Dan.
I'm excited to have you in the Community!
Do you train students in QuickBooks Desktop, or Online, or both? Additionally, I was curious if these lessons were in person or done online.
We also have the Talk about your business section if you'd ever like to discuss one of your companies.
I'm looking forward to your contributions and will be keeping an eye out for them!
It's great to have you in the thread, @stirlingpainting.
