Buy nowOn a cash basis balance sheet, QB Online does not show a balance for vendor accounts payable, which is correct. But why does it show a balance for unemployment taxes payable? It seems that both types of payable should be absent from the cash basis balance sheet.
Solved! Go to Solution.
QBO uses bills and invoices (A/P & A/R) to differentiate cash vs. accrual items on the balance sheet. Since UI tax payable is not A/P, QBO cannot differentiate the entry between cash and accrual. QBO's cash vs. accrual reports are not perfect by any stretch.
Hi there, @userkdavis.
I'm here to help share insights about the accounts of your report with cash basis accounting method in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Yes, the receivable and payable accounts are not included when a Balance Sheet report is set to show the category in cash basis accounting method. Kindly read this article to learn more: Resolve Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable Balances on a Cash Basis Balance Sheet in QuickBooks....
The journal entry method, along with reversing its category, is used to resolve the payable balances incorrectly showing in a cash basis balance sheet report. If you wish to do so, here is an article you can read to learn more: Create a Journal Entry in QuickBooks Online.
However, I still recommend contacting your accountant for guidance in choosing the accounts for your journal entry. They can also provide the best accounting practices to follow to ensure the category and balances of accounts in your report are accurately reported.
