Quickbooks is showing that I make double my income, because it's counting the invoices as payments as well as the actual deposits. How do I remove the invoices??

Yes you can match but in the past, you didn't have too. It was automatic and you just checked t make sure it was correct.

Hello there, All Truck Fleet.

 

I understand you're curious about how QuickBooks is operating, but for me to address your concern, I'd need more specific information.

 

May I know what specific transaction you are referring to? This way, I can address this and give you an accurate answer.

 

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. I'll wait for your response. Just drop a reply below. Thanks!

HI, Thank you for your response!  

Some added or changed features have been very helpful for saving time.

 But 2 of the main issues I am having are:

1) Somehow my income showed to be much higher than it actually was - I kept looking and found that many of my deductible expense were somehow logged into "Uncategorized Expenses" even though I always categorize these.

2) When writing up an estimate,  some of the lines go to $0.00 when I click on save.

 

Sorry if this description is not specific enough. Communication between diverse cerebrations is in many cases the most challenging part for professionals in diverse vocations.

Thank you for any help you are able to supply!

I've got the details you need to address your concerns, All Truck Fleet.

 

Upon linking your bank and credit card accounts to QuickBooks, the system downloads your recent bank transactions and automatically matches them with any existing records in QuickBooks. 

 

An uncategorized expense refers to any expenditure that appears in a transaction record. It's possible that your deductible expenses do not have an accounting category attached to them. It can also be that QuickBooks automatically created this account because the system was unable to categorize it. 

 

You can fix it by selecting the appropriate category or account from your Chart of Accounts. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Accounting menu, then select Chart of Accounts.
  2. In the Filter by Name box, type Uncategorized Expense.
  3. Choose the transactions that you'll want to run.
  4. From the Action column, click the drop-down button to tap Edit.
  5. You can now change it to the correct account from the Account window.
  6. Click on Save and Close.

 

I also suggest reaching out to your accountant for accurate recordkeeping.

I've also included this reference so you can match your bank and credit card statements: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

 

Moreover, QuickBooks may occasionally display unusual behavior and encounter performance issues due to browser-related issues. Let's conduct some initial troubleshooting steps to identify the problem. To begin, utilize an incognito window or a private browser when entering your estimates. The keyboard shortcuts are as follows:

 

  • Safari: Command + Shift + N
  • Google Chrome: CTRL + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge: CTRL + Sh

 

If it works, go back to your usual browser and clear its history to begin anew. If not, we recommend using an alternative supported browser, as the QuickBooks version you're currently using may be experiencing a temporary issue.

 

You'll want to personalize and add specific info to your estimates. Visit this article: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.

I am having the same problem, and I followed your instructions with the resolve, and it is still counting the income twice.  In the upper left corner of the invoice it even says it matches with a bank deposit, yet I am still getting income from the invoice and deposit.  The customer paid through quickbooks, not a check or credit card, so I am not sure if that makes a difference.

Welcome to the thread, Quagmire87. 

 

I'm here to help you resolve the duplicate income.

 

When a customer pays through QuickBooks, the system links the payment automatically to the invoice. Thus, you'll have to match the payment from the banking feeds to avoid double-counting the income.

 

However, if you manually receive the payment or record the bank deposit, you'll need to delete the manually created payment.

 

For future reference, here's a great resource about the best practices when reconciling: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. I'll be standing by for your response. Have a great day.

I have already reconciled the month and had to delete the invoice payment to correct the income amount.  So now my income is correct but the invoice shows unpaid. The deposit included more than one check so the payment wouldn't match because the amount wasn't the same.  How do I show the invoice paid without adding to my income?

Thanks for joining us here in the thread, @JLM2010. We'll share details to help you get through this to correct the record inside your company without having to add another invoice to your income inside QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Upon reading your post, you can address this by entering a journal entry inside the company file. We'll gladly write down the steps below to get you going:

 

  1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. Click the + New button.
  3. Select Journal entry.
  4. On the first line, select an account from the Account field. Depending on if you need to debit or credit the account, enter the amount in the correct column.
  5. On the next line, select the other account you're moving money to or from. Depending on if you entered a debit or credit on the first line, enter the same amount in the opposite column.
  6. Check the amounts - you should have the same amount in the Credit column on one line and the Debit column on the other. This means the accounts are in balance.
  7. Enter information in the memo section so you know why you made the journal entry.

I just entered all of my bank statement transactions manually in QB desktop. So all my deposits and debits. My company is linked to QB and all invoices were added as well. So now I have double income. How do I delete these double entries of income?

Quickbooks is showing that I make double my income, because it's counting the invoices as payments as well as the actual deposits. How do I remove the invoices??

Let me help you with deleting the double entries of income of your bank statements in QuickBooks Desktop, ccs6.

 

Since you are using QuickBooks Desktop and manually enter the transactions, it's possible the deposits created were not linked with the payments you received from customers' invoices. This will create a double income, especially for your Profit and Loss report.

 

Received payments have to be deposited into the Undeposited Funds when you haven't deposited the money yet into your bank. So when it's time to move your money into the bank, you can create a bank deposit in QuickBooks and link this payment in real time. For the detailed steps, please check out this article: Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Desktop. Also, you might want to learn how the Undeposited Funds account works in QuickBooks. This article will provide you the detailed information: What’s the Undeposited Funds account?.

 

If the duplicate income transactions are coming from your bank feeds, we can remove them in the Bank Feeds Center. The process depends on the mode you're using. But before that, ensure that you review and match the transaction in QuickBooks. Then, create a backup copy of your file so we can make sure you have the original file that can be restored in case of accidental data loss or damage. When ready, follow these steps to delete duplicates:

 

If you're in the Register mode

 

  1. In your company file, go to the Banking menu and select Bank Feeds then, click Bank Feeds Center.
  2. Next, locate and select the statement from the Items Received From Financial Institution section and click View.
  3. From there, match the appropriate transactions then, select Done.
  4. Select Yes in the Not Finished Matching screen. You'll return to the Online Banking Center.
  5. Look for the same statement from the Items Received From Financial Institution section and select itThen, click Delete.

 

Here's an article you can refer to for more details about removing duplicate transactions in QuickBooks Desktop. I've included these articles to help you categorize and reconcile your QuickBooks transactions. Doing so ensures your books are accurate.
