Hello there, @tvgirl7. I appreciate the effort you’ve put into addressing this issue, and I completely understand how challenging it can be.
 

In QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE), once you mark an invoice as paid, it gets recorded as paid on that specific date. Currently, the option to backdate the payment to reflect a past date is unavailable.

 

As a workaround, you can add a note to the invoice indicating that the payment has been made. Here’s how:

 

  1. Navigate to the left navigation panel and select Invoices.
  2. Locate the specific invoice and click Edit.
  3. In the Note to Customer field, add a note stating the invoice has been paid.
  4. Select the drop-down arrow next to Email, then click Save.

 

 

I’ll add this article to help you manage your invoices and set up your preferences: Create invoices in QBSE.

 

We’re always here to help you if you have any other concerns.
