QB self .ex.I sold $100 of product,pd $20 in commis, was paid $80. Can anyone assist with entering of total sale, commission, and then my income so my deposit matches

Glad to see you in the Community, @wwrk2hrd.

Entering your invoice information in QuickBooks Self-Employed is super easy and takes only a few moments.

Here's how:

1. Select Invoices on the left-hand menu.
2. On the Invoices screen, click the Create invoice button.
   
   
    
3. Fill out the Client details on your Invoice, then click Add work to add a line item to the invoice.
4. In the example below, I've added a line item for the Product for $100.00 and another line item for Commission in the amount of -$20.00. This will bring the total to $80 so that you can match your bank transaction to the Invoice.
   
   

That's it! Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to be of assistance. Thank you for bringing us your questions.

Thank you MichaeIK. I  considered that and made a dummy invoice. My concern is when I pull reports in QB self it won't categorize each line item of the invoice.  I created the dummy with 

sales $2.00

commission  -$1.00

sales tax .07

total 1.07

I marked it as paid and then pulled reports and none of the line items show in reports. This could cause me an issue at end of month/year. 

What i then tried was to create multiple transactions. 

My total collected on the below example was $763.12

I made one transaction for commission and one transaction for the exact same amount showing the money was initially collected as sales (income)

I did the same with the sales tax money, one for the amount of tax I paid and one showing that same money was collected

and then finally I made one for the amount that was actually deposited. 

Let me share how invoice works in QuickBooks Self-Employed, wwrk2hrd.

The QuickBooks Self-Employed won't automatically categorize the invoices regardless if you marked it as paid or not. It is just for recording purposes and won't reflect to any reports.

You have to import and categorize the transactions from your bank. Then, we can split it when categorizing so it will reflect on your reports correctly. From your Transactions tab, locate the transaction and click Split. On the pop-up, separate the amounts for sales, commission, and sales tax, then select the correct Category.

If your bank isn't connected into your QuickBooks, you can manually enter them, just like what you did. Though, you only have to enter the total amount. Creating another deposit transaction will cause discrepancy since it's already a duplicate to the transactions you've entered.

It would also be better to consult to an accountant. This is to make sure to make sure all your expenses and income will be categorize properly.

You can always reach out to us here if you have other questions. Have a great day!
