Hello, nflorczak.

 

I'd be more than glad to help you look for a way to view the 2019 entry as individual transactions. 

 

Certain reports list the transactions individually. What steps did you take to pull up the report? Was it through the Chart of Accounts? This would help me narrow down the issue and find out how you can view the entry as individual transactions.

 

In the meantime, we can do these steps to find out what's causing the issue. 

 

One thing to look out for is how the 2019 entry was entered. Was it through a journal entry? If so, it will automatically show up on the report as a single transaction. You'll want to click it to open the record overview and find out what accounts are affected.

If it isn't a journal entry, did you include other accounts as well? In this case, ensure your view isn't in collapsed mode. In your report, simply click the arrow icon beside the account name. It'll expand and show a list of transactions affecting it.

Hey there, @nflorczak

 

Thanks for reaching back out to the Community. One of the reasons why you're not able to see a breakdown of the transactions is because it's Retained Earnings that you're reviewing.

 

At the end of the year, QuickBooks Online automatically closes out your Income and Expense accounts and builds up your net profit or loss into your Retained Earnings. All of those transactions are rolled up into one. 

 

Here are two articles that can provide some additional information about the Retained Earnings account: 

 

 

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope you have a great rest of your week!
