P&L Report

Thanks for coming into this forum, LoriW2010. I can share details to help you track transactions on account to your checking statement.

In QuickBooks, the program is dependent on the data imported from your banking institution. If there are transactions you've manually downloaded in your file, it's best to review the account category used in each of your entries before adding them. 

Additionally, you can also review and track the transactions in your account's Audit Trail history. To help you do this, refer to the steps below:

1. Open the transaction you'd like to investigate.
2. Select More.
3. Select Audit history and this will open the Audit trail.
4. For an expanded view, select Show all, for a side-by-side comparison, select Compare.

Once everything looks good, you can start reviewing and reconciling your accounts to make sure they match your bank and credit card statements.

I'll be right here, willing to provide further assistance for any additional queries you may have when managing customer transactions in your account. Feel free to let me know in the comments below. Take care and have a good one!

How are you trying to run a P&L on a single bank account?  If you try to filter by a specific bank account QB Desktop gives you an error that says "This report will be blank because it displays only income and expense account, but there are no income or expense accounts selected in the report filters."  A P&L report would be inaccurate if it were filtered by a single bank account unless you are on pure cash basis and only have one bank account, in which case, there would be no need to filter by bank account.  A P&L shows income and expense accounts and your bank account is an asset account.  Therefore, it will properly show all transactions that post to an income account regardless of the offsetting bank account.
