QuickBooks Online Version?

Hi All,

 

May any expert guide that how I will check/confirm that I am using the QuickBooks Online Start, Essential, OR Plus? The About QuickBooks option is showing the version number and the level of version (Start, Essential, & Plus) is not mentioned there.

 

Regards,

Abdul Rehman.

Welcome back to the Community, @Abdul Rehman.

 

Knowing the version of QuickBooks Online (QBO) you're using is pretty easy, and I'm happy to show you how:

 

  1. In your QBO, go to the Gear icon at the top right to get to the Account and Settings (or Company Settings).
  2. Select the Billing & Subscription menu at the left pane.
  3. From there, you can see the version of QBO you're using.

 

For additional information, consider checking out this article: How to update your subscription and billing details.

 

Please know that I'm only a few clicks away if you have any other issues or concerns. I'll be happy to help. Have a great day!

Hey, I was looking for my QBO version to see if I am qualified for the Priority Circle benefits. When I select Billing & Subscription I get "Have questions about your subscription? Your accountant, xxxxxxxx, can answer them for you. Email your accountant". When I click on "Email your accountant", it points to you but you're not my present accountant. Are you the one that's supposed to help me figure this out? It's no biggy. I always look for & use free benefits when they are available. We are really just getting started in QBO so we need lots of training. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,

I'm trying to learn about my Quickbooks subscription. I had someone helping me and I had to get rid of them. I feel they set up my customers very lazily. I want to learn how to delete old customers, add new customers correctly and understand all my subscription has to offer.

Please let me know your thoughts, concerns and ideas.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

JOHN ILES

Hi Angelyn,

Thank for the quick response. When I click to make it inactive it says it is a recurring invoice. How do I make that inactive? How do I make that customers inactive when it is a recurring?   

Thank you,

John

Thank you for taking the time to consider my colleague's suggestions for deactivating customers in QuickBooks Online, @ilesprop.

 

I'm here to help you handle the recurring invoice so you can get this done quickly.

 

Deleting the recurring transaction allows you to completely mark the customer as inactive. You can do that by simply going to the Recurring transactions on your Settings. Here's how you can do it:

 

  1. Click on the Gear or Settings icon.
  2. Under Lists, select Recurring transactions.
  3. Locate the repeating invoice that needs to be removed.
  4. Click on the Edit drop-down.
  5. Select Delete.
  6. Then, click on Yes to confirm.

 

That should do it! You can now try to deactivate the customer once more.

 

Furthermore, make sure to zero out the customer's balance or clear out all unbilled transactions from the customer's profile to avoid any problem deactivating the customer.

 

Once everything is good and you're ready to start again, see these links to find out more about adding and personalizing invoices in QBO.

 

 

We're available 24/7 to answer your queries regarding customers, invoices, or QuickBooks. Feel free to leave a comment below so we can reply as soon as we can. Have a good one!

Hi,

Now the system is tell me I have used all the accounts. It's wanting me to upgrade. I don't need most of the accounts. How can I delete accounts so the system will let me add customers?

I'll help you add customers,ilesprop.

 

You have already reached your usage limits in your QuickBooks Online account. This is the reason you're unable to add new customers. To resolve this, we'll have to reduce your usage.

 

To do this, let's inactivate some of your accounts. Beforehand there are several things to remember before doing so. I've added this article for reference: Make Account Inactivate in QuickBooks Online.

 

When you're ready, please follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Chart of accounts.
  2. Find the account you want to delete.
  3. Select the Action drop-down menu and select Make inactive.

 

Once done, you can now add your new customers.

 

Additionally, I've added these articles that'll help you invoice your customers and get paid on time:

 

 

Please keep us posted if you need additional assistance managing your sales transactions. We're always here to help you out.

Welcome to the Community, @gaylesprague. I want to ensure you'll be able to get help in navigating your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.

 

To clarify, may I know the region of the QBO version you're using? Signing up for QuickBooks Priority Circle may not be available for some international versions. To verify, you can reach out to our Customer support team. They can provide details about this as well as additional options you can take. Here's how:

 

  1. In your QBO account, select the Help menu and click the Search tab.
  2. Next, select the Contact us button.
  3. Enter a brief description of your concern there and select Continue.
  4. From there, choose either Start a chat or Get a callback. 

 

I've also added this helpful resource that you can open to further help you in navigating your QBO account:

 

 

If you have any other QBO concerns, please don't hesitate to post again here. I'd be glad to provide additional assistance. Have a good one and keep safe.

Hi

i need some help regarding the payroll retention credit program

Ethel_A

QuickBooks Online Version?

I'm here to help you get help with the payroll credit retention program, @qtdds219.

 

A refundable tax credit known as the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is offered under the CARES Act to qualifying firms that suffer a considerable drop in gross receipts or certain closures as a result of COVID-19. 

 

This tax credit is equal to 50% of the qualified wages paid to eligible employees between March 13, 2020, and December 31, 2020 (up to $10,000 of qualified wages per employee) and 70% of the qualified wages paid to eligible employees in 2021 (up to $10,000 of qualified wages per employee per calendar quarter). 

 

The ERC is designed to assist employers in keeping staff on the payroll and reducing the number of people applying for unemployment benefits.

 

To learn more about the Employee Retention Credit, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online Payroll support.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In your QuickBooks Online company, select (?) Help.
  2. Select either tab to get started:
  • Assistant: Get quick, personalized answers. Select a suggested option, or type a question or topic you need help with. If you decide you need further help, you can still chat with a human.
  • Search: Type a question, keyword, or topic for QuickBooks Online self-help content or select Contact Us, type a question, and Continue. Choose a way to connect with us:
    • Start a chat with a QuickBooks support expert online.

 

I'm also adding this article for more information about Employee Retention Credit in QuickBooks Online: What is the Employee Retention Credit?

This is a complete non-answer and the reason so many are so frustrated using QBO.   A simple, direct way to see what version you have within your account is just what that person was looking for and me as well.

Followed the directions but the screen just showed our company information. There was nothing about what version we are using.  I use Macs so that may be the reason.   How much is the QB advanced/month??????
