Thanks for getting involved with this thread, PB12345. I appreciate the screenshot you provided.

 

Since you've already set everything up like KayePe's post covers, but are still seeing a balance in your liabilities,  you'll want to start by identifying what's causing the balance in that account. Once you know the cause of a balance, you can review your options for correcting it if it's incorrect.

 

Here's how to review an account and its records:
 

  1. In the top menu bar, go to Company, Lists, then Chart of Accounts.
  2. Find your liabilities account and access it.
  3. Review its records to identify which ones are causing the balance you're seeing.

 

If you need assistance identifying the cause of a balance in a particular account, I'd recommend working with an accounting professional. If you're in need of one, there's an awesome tool on our website called Find a ProAdvisor. All ProAdvisors listed there are QuickBooks-certified and able to provide helpful insights for driving your business's success.

 

I've also included a detailed resource about working with the Chart of Accounts screen which may come in handy moving forward: View & Manage your Chart of accounts

 

Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any questions. Have a great Thursday!
