We wired the expense that belongs to 2021 in December 2020 by mistake. When we run P&L 2020, that expense is shown on our P&L 2020, but it is deductible in 2021. Since we are on a cash basis, and expenses are shown in the year when they are wired, we have a problem with automatically running P&L. Is there a way to move this expense to be automatically shown in 2021?

I can help you settle this transaction, @socexahmed.
Thanks for taking the time to visit the Community. I’m here to provide information, so this expense transaction will be displayed under 2021 records.
When running financial reports, QuickBooks will base on the transaction date. We can manually edit this event so it’ll fall to the correct period. I’ll show you how:
After this process, you can run the Profit and Loss report. That way, we can make sure everything is appropriately recorded. You can use the customize feature to view the specific details that matter the most.

Since you already changed the transaction dates to January, all you need to do is to click the Clear filter option on the Reconcile page. This will show all the transactions including December. Then, you can now manually select them to complete the reconciliation process.
Here's a sample screenshot from my test account.
Also, it'd be best to consult your accountant for other options you may consider when reconciling.

Thanks for the answer. That resolved the problem with P&L. But when I want to reconcile December, it shows me a discrepancy because bank payment and QB payment are different. How to reconcile? The actual payment was in December, but I moved the payment date to January 1 in QB.
