A report that shows all customers that paid by check/visa/...etc during a certain time frame.

This happens because the payment method is not saved on the accounting rows that use income accounts. It's saved on the payment that pays the invoices or on the 'source' row of a sales receipt.

Hello there, AjaLincoln.

I'm joining this thread to provide additional information on how you get the data based on your desired date.

BigRedConsulting is right. QuickBooks uses source and target when applying the information to the report. It's the reason why the Income by Customer report shows empty when adding the payment method in the Filter section. You can use this article for more details: Understand reports.   

We can pull up the Payment Methods quick report to generate all customer payment with different payment method.

1. Go to the Lists menu.
2. Customer & Vendor Profile Lists.
3. Select Payment Method.
4. Choose the payment method you want to pull up.
5. Click Report drop-down arrow. 
6. Select Quickreport or press Ctrl+Q.
   

The other way around is exporting the report in Excel. Doing this help you filter and consolidate the data you want. Open the report. Then, select Excel drop-down arrow and select Update Existing Worksheet.
