Hi there, @nguyenc150-gator.
For now, the option to create a budget for the 2018 fiscal year is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
However, you can create a budget and name it as 2018. Then, export it to Excel and change its fiscal year. Here's how:
- Click the Gear icon and select Budgeting.
- In the upper-right corner, click Add budget.
- Enter 2018 as the name of the budget and select any fiscal year.
- Continue by clicking Next and then enter the budget data for 2018.
- Select Save.
Once done, follow these steps to export it to Excel:
- Go to Reports and open the Budget Overview report.
- Choose the budget report from the Budget drop-down list.
- Click Run report and select the Export button.
- Choose Export to Excel.
- Open the Excel file and edit its fiscal year.
I can see how this option would be helpful for you and your business. Therefore, let me take note of this as a suggestion to improve your QuickBooks experience.
