QUICKBOOKS ONLINE MAKING A CHANGE TO A FIXED ASSET SET UP IN CHART OF ACCOUNTS

New client - tried to help him fix his QB online balance sheet.  Added accounts for assets (I am not good with QBO-I have been using QB desktop for 30+ years).  Anyway, asked if I wanted to track depreciation.  I checked the box and put in the original cost.  On one, I entered the wrong original cost.  How do I change - will not let me edit.  Also, it shows on BS as shown below.  Why is it double?  The Trailer cost $6300 and the leaf vac was $3630.32.  How do i correct this?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Fixed Assets

Leaf Vacuum                                                    3,630.32

Original cost                                                     3,200.00

Total Leaf Vacuum                                           6,830.32

 

TRAILER                                                        6,300.00

Original cost                                                     6,300.00

Total TRAILER                                              12,600.00

Hi there, @lyndaj.

 

I’m delighted to help you edit the fixed assets you’ve set up in the chart of accounts.

 

Here’s how:

 

  1. Open the chart of accounts, find the new fixed asset.
  2. Click the use register for the depreciation sub-account, then click on the amount.
  3. Select the delete button.
  4. Re-open the chart of accounts and ensure the fixed asset account and sub-accounts are now zero.
  5. Click the use register for the cost sub-account, then make a new entry and enter the amount, and click Save.

 

Check out this article for additional reference: What to do if you didn't enter an opening balance in QuickBooks Online.

 

Also, here's a link for your reference on how to depreciate assets in QBO for your future reference: Depreciate assets.

 

Feel free to post some more if you have additional concerns. I’ll be here to guide you again.
