Hello. I have QB Desktop 2020 for Mac. When I go to Reports, it thinks that "Today" is always 9/8/2020 (doesn't matter which report I try to run). I have to manually change the dates. If I select Year to Date or Month to Date - it always thinks that "today" is 9/8/2020. I am sure this is a minor problem, I just can't figure out why it thinks today is 9/8/20 - or how to solve this. I am tired of continuously changing the date span. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks for posting here in the Community, @BSWT.
Allow me to share some insights about the dates that you see when you run reports. QuickBooks will base today's date on your computer. I suggest checking the time and date of your computer and ensure that they are up to date.
However, if everything is correct and the issue persists, we can run the Verify and Rebild tool. This tool helps resolve minor and common data issues in QuickBooks.
Before we proceed, I recommend updating QuickBooks to the latest release. Doing so can help your books stay up-to-date so you always have the latest features and fixes. I'll guide you how:
Once done, we can now utilize the Verify and Rebuild tool.
Here's how to verify your data:

Thank you for your reply. I followed your instructions. I did not need to update anything because it said I was all up to date. Next, I clicked to verify data, per instructions, and it said everything was good. I checked my laptop date and time and they are correct. I went back into reports, and although the date over on the left top of page says that it is 10/27/20 (this has always been correct). Nothing has changed. Any other suggestions? Thank you.
