expense reports showing duplicate

Hi @sgf292,

Thanks for joining the thread. I appreciate you for sharing detailed information of your concern. Since you're using the Desktop App, let's try logging in to the web browser instead to check and see if this is an app issue. Then let's perform some troubleshooting on your apps once confirmed. 

Here's how:

1. Launch Google Chrome as your main browser. This works best with QuickBooks Online (QBO). 
2. Log in to your QBO account.
3. Run the report again and see if there are duplicates. 

If none, this means an Apps issue. Update and reinstall the QBO desktop application. Please see our help article: QuickBooks App for Windows and Mac: General Support. It contains steps for uninstalling and reinstalling, as well as other troubleshooting info. 

If you're still getting the same issue, it's best to contact our Customer Care team. They can check your account to review what's causing the issue, and will help you fix it.

Don't hesitate to respond to us if you need anything else. We're always delighted to help. 

I'm glad to hear logging in through the browser worked for you, sgf292. Help is just a comment or post away if you ever need assistance again the future.

I have the same problem.... How did you fix it?

I'm running into the same problem, but with payments.  I invoice the expenses and then record payment under "receive payments" and apply to applicable invoice.  When I run the expense report for the client I have duplicate payments.  I have verified that there are no duplicate invoices.  What could be causing this?

Let's perform some troubleshooting steps to get this sorted out, Accounting4050-2020. 

There may be a damaged data on the company file you've been working with. We can run the Rebuild Data tool is built-in to fix any company file data issues. Just follow the steps and detail in the Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file article. We can also repair your QuickBooks Desktop to fix any damaged components in the software. 

Once done, run the Profit and Loss report again. If the payment is showing in the undeposited fund's account and the payment has been successfully recorded, we can delete the duplicate payment. But first, let's create a back up of the company file just you ever run into problems, we can use your backup to restore your data. This will clear it out of the account. an on the report. Here's how: 

1. Open the Customer Center and locate the customer name. 
2. Right-click the duplicate payment and choose Edit Transaction.
3. Click Delete at the top.
4. Hit OK to confirm you want to delete the transaction.
5. Now going back to the Customer's name, the duplicate payment will be gone.
