Join nowHi there, not sure I have selected the correct discussion topic. In 2023 we purchased a travel trailer for our business, as my husband often works out of state and out of town. I put it under, "tools, machinery and equipment". When I run the P&L I am not seeing it? This is alarming to me, as I would like to show it as a cost of business and for it to show as an expense, going against our totals. How do I do this so that is the case? I feel I must not have entered it correctly? Thank you......
Hi there, @dapowellcutting.
Let's verify the accounting basis and date range of your report to help you find the missing transaction.
The Profit and Loss report includes the summary of revenue, expenses, and total cost of production.
The accounting basis you have selected for your report determines the date when your transactions are recorded. If you have chosen the Accrual method, your business reports income and expenses for both completed and pending transactions. On the other hand, if you have chosen the Cash method, your report will only show the income and expenses for completed transactions. You can check this article for more information: Learn common accounting terms.
The Profit and Loss report includes the summary of revenue, expenses, and total cost of production. Make sure to set the correct date range under the Report period.
You can check this article for more information on how to troubleshoot missing income and expense transactions in your report: Find the missing income and expense transactions in your Profit and Loss report.

A travel trailer is a fixed asset which is recorded as a fixed asset on your balance sheet. You should see it under Tools, Machinery, & Equipment on your balance sheet. It is not an expense (and therefore not reflected on your P&L) until it is depreciated. You have options for depreciation so work with your CPA/tax accountant to determine the depreciation method that works best for you from a tax perspective.
