P&L removes reimbursed expenses from both income and expense sections of report

When I get a reimbursable expense charged to my credit card, I enter the transaction manually in QB, assigning it to the relevant customer:job to make it billable (as an expense, not as an item, for what it's worth). When I create the invoice, I add any such expenses via the Add Time/Costs button. All seems to work fine until I generate the P&L, which removes all such expenses from both the income and the expenses. 

That has worked fine in past years when I wasn't using TurboTax. Now that I am, I'd like to transfer figures directly from the P&L (such as 1099-NEC-consistent amounts) but can't due to this issue: when I enter the 1099 amount in TT, I then have no simply-readable expense numbers (on the P&L) to deduct against it.

Anybody? Thanks.

P&L removes reimbursed expenses from both income and expense sections of report

Thanks for laying out your concern here in the Community, @dlabrecque. I know it can be challenging when you can't view all your expenses in a Profit and Loss report. I'll provide some troubleshooting steps to help you isolate this issue.

 

You've mentioned that this issue only started when using TurboTax. We can run the Verify and Rebuild data tools to isolate this issue. This way, we can verify and resolve the most commonly known data issues within your company file. Also, please ensure that your QuickBooks Desktop is up to date

 

Here's how to verify data:

 

  1. Navigate to the File menu.
  2. Choose Utilities, then select Verify Data.
  3. Click OK when you see the message, QuickBooks detected no problem with your data.
  4. If Verify finds an issue with your data, you'll be prompted to Rebuild Now or View Errors.
  5. Click Close or View Errors and take note of the specific error message.

 

Next, here's how to rebuild the data:

 

  1. Go to the File menu.
  2. Choose Utilities, then select Rebuild Data.
  3. Click OK if you receive a prompt to back up your company file.
  4. Click OK when you get the message, Rebuild has completed, and proceed to the next step.
  5. Run Rebuild Data again to make sure there are no errors.

It's definitely not a TurboTax problem. TT is simply asking for the amount of the 1099-NEC and then expense amounts. As I've explained, in the case of reimbursed expenses, the QuickBooks P&L provides neither. I need to figure out why.

When I posted about it in the TT community, they told me to get Quickbooks help. :)

Appreciate the details, @dlabrecque.

 

I'll share some information about the reimbursed expenses. You'll want to pull up a 1099 report. This way, you can view the 1099-NEC amounts.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Reports.
  2. Select Vendors & Payables.
  3. Choose either 1099 Summary or 1099 Details.

 

 

For additional resources, check out the links below.

 

 

 

With the above recommendation, you're able to view your 1099-NEC amounts.

 

Please let me know if you have follow-up questions or concerns with 1099s. I'll be around for you. Take care and have a good one.
