Finding payment

As an independent contractor, managing your payments is crucial, and I'm here to assist you, achalona. 

It appears that you are currently using QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE). This version of QuickBooks is designed specifically for independent contractors and self-employed individuals. However, the option to view the list of payments received from your employer is unavailable in QBSE. 

I suggest reaching out to your bank to further help you view the payments received from your employer.

For more information, you can utilize these articles to learn more about the process of taking payments from your customers in QuickBooks:

• Take and process payments with QuickBooks Payments
• Find out when QuickBooks Payments deposits customer payments

Keep your posts coming if you need further assistance with your QuickBooks Online preferences. I'm always here to help. 

Thanks for the suggestions.  However, this solution did not work for me.  

When I log in to the Merchant Services Center (which I am able to do), I receive the following message:

"We didn't find a QuickBooks Payments Account with that User ID."

Do you have any other suggestions for how I can see the payments I've received from my employer?

Thank you for your prompt reply, @achalona. I've read your original post, and I'm here to assist you in finding the payment history from your employer.

The Merchant Services Center allows you to review transactions related to customers. I can see that you need to view your employer's payment history. In this case, you have multiple ways to see the payment.

If you receive payments through direct deposit, you can use the special QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) account you used for your W-9 to review your direct deposit checks. 

To start, add your direct deposit info in QBSE. Usually, after your client adds you to direct deposit, you'll get an email invitation.

1. Open the invite email and select the link.
2. If you already have a QBSE account, select Sign in. Or, follow the steps to create a limited QuickBooks Self-Employed account. ( If you sent your client a W-9, you should already have an account.)
3. Follow the steps in the email to add your direct deposit or ACH info.

After that, get ready to review your direct deposit checks.

1. Sign in to QuickBooks Self-Employed.
2. Go to the Clients menu.
3. Select the client who sent you the direct deposit.

I'm adding this article for more hints on receiving direct deposit checks as an independent contractor: Get direct deposits from your clients in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

If your employer uses paper checks, you may ask your client for printed copies of your payments.

On the other hand, if you'd like to modify your W-9 or view your 1099-Misc in the future, utilize the resources from this article as your reference: Fill out a W-9 and view your 1099-MISC in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

Let me know in the comment section below if you have follow-up questions while checking the payment details from your employer. I'm just a few clicks away to help you again. Have a good one!

Thank you for your efforts.  However, this solution is also not working.  My employer does not have a way to invite me to Workforce. When I log in to workforce with my intuit log in credentials, I receive the message that "no associated companies were found for your user." 

How can I access the payments I have received from my employer?

Hello there, @achalona.

I'll help you find the payment history as a contractor from your employer.

If your employer uses QuickBooks and paid you via direct deposit, it won't show in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account. The history of the payment will only show in your bank statement. All you need to do is to receive the payment by creating a sales receipt and associate it with your service.

Your bank can show you all the payments made to your account. You can ask for your bank statement and review them from there.
