Total Profit Report

Hello,

My Quickbooks account is showing twice the amount for profit than there actually is. The "Quickbooks Balance" is showing a very high number which does not reflect the correct amount profited within the last year. I don't know what is causing this and how I should fix it. I am still new to Quickbooks and learning as I go so please keep that in mind when responding. Thank you for your help!

Typically this is caused by recording income on your sales transactions, such as like invoices, and then depositing payments from customers and using an income account again on the deposits. Which is incorrect. Could that be the case for you?

You're in good hands, @kchastain815. First off, I would like to thank you for choosing our products as your partner in making your business grow.

 

There are a number of reasons why your bank register amount in QuickBooks Online could not match your actual bank balance. You would need to ascertain the cause of the discrepancy and make the necessary corrections.

 

Balances may not match for a number of reasons:

 

  • Outstanding transactions
  • New transactions for a connected account
  • Duplicate transactions
  • Edited or deleted transactions
  • Credit card (liability) account

 

Please check this article to find out the recommended fix for the mentioned reasons: How to Fix Differences Between QuickBooks Balance and Bank Balance.
