Why can't I mark expenses as billable?

Hey there, @leenahw

I want to bring clarifications to your concern on billable expense feature in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

At this time, enabling a billable expense feature in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac is unavailable. I'll be bringing this suggestion to our developer's team so they'll know your preference.

For now, allow me to share these resources to help you be more familiar with the features and functions of QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

• QuickBooks Desktop for Mac User Guide.
• QuickBooks Desktop Resources.

You can always reach us back if you have other concerns, and I'd be glad to help you out.

So I can turn on billable expenses as an option... but I can't actually mark anything as a billable expense? Are you serious?

Hi leenahw,

The billable expense is actually available in QuickBooks for Mac. It's even available in the 2013 version. What version do you have?

There could be damaged programmed components that triggered this behavior. You can update your QuickBooks to load the fixes. Then, try creating billable expenses again and see if you can mark them.

If the same thing happens, please get in touch with Support to check this further. They are available from 6AM-6PM (PT) Mon-Fri and 6AM-3PM (PT) on Saturdays.
