Get 50% OFF QuickBooks for 3 months*
Buy nowWhen I make a trial balance report for last quarter (1/10/2019 to 31/12/2019), instead the numbers showing up are the last six months. I only discovered this because the numbers seemed extremely high for a 3 month period.
(Yes, I click on run report after setting the dates, I have tried setting dates to 'custom' and then the dates, I've tried the preset 'last quarter' etc., it doesn't make a difference.)
So my workaround is now having to click on each line item separately, adjust the transaction report start dates (which are somehow set for 1/7/2019 instead of 1/10/2019) and then make my own excel version.
It seems to be working fine for all other reports, just the trial balance is giving issues.
Thanks for any advice on this!

Trial balance showing the wrong report period
Hello Danoo!
I'm joining this thread so I can explain how the Trial Balance works.
The Trial Balance lists all accounts on your Chart of Accounts and their totals as either debits or credits. This report does not function on a "From-To" basis but only on as of date. This means that only the "To" date is functional and can be changed.
What I can suggest is to send feedback to our engineers to have the "From" date function so it can be modified. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
I appreciate that you shared your workaround here. You'll want to continue the same process until your request will be implemented.

Hi,
I just am wondering if there has been a fix for this known issue. I am running into the same problem where I am trying to pull a trial balance of last fiscal year and I am only getting data on the last 6 months.
Can you please advise if there is a fix for this?
Thanks!

Same problems here.When i try to view my Trial Balance Report from period 01.04.2021 to 31.10.22. some of the list of transaction report show only from period 01.01.2021 to 31.12.2021. This will make my trial balance report wrong amount. It should be same period date with my trial balance period. This will make our account not same with the General Ledger report balance. It totally wrong report show!!!
I am facing this problems also. The Trial Balance lists all accounts on Chart of Accounts and their totals as either debits or credits. This report does not function on a "From-To" basis but only on as of date. This means that only the "To" date is functional and can be changed.
I am having pretty much the same problem when running a trail balance. It doesn’t matter what dates I put in it give me the same numbers. Which seems like totals for the entire time I have using QB not just the year I am looking at
Thanks for chiming in to this forum, fyarwood. I'll further discuss how the trial balance works in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Please know that the Trial Balance in QBO shows the closing balance of each account over a given period to ensure the debit and credit balances are equal.
Since it gives you the same numbers even after customizing the date periods, I recommend contacting our live support team. By doing so, they will be able to access your account securely and ensure that the correction is made.
Here's how:
