Quickbooks Questions?
I have a QBB file from a client and when I go to restore it gives me a message asking me to insert disk 1 into the drive that I am attempting to restore the backup from. My backup is on a jumpdrive and so that message doesn't apply but I can't restore. I've tried to put it on other media but it still gives me the same message. Does anybody have any ideas before I pay $50 to ask quickbooks one question? THANKS!!!...
spencirye:It sounds like your client sent you the accountant's copy and sometimes it doesn't open depending on the version of QuickBooks. Try to have the client either use the Adobe online service to send the file to you or email it directly from Outlook Express as an attachment. It will definately work tha... More...
Quickbooks Premier for Manufacturing Questions for QB users?
I'm changing computer systems & will be using QB for 2007. My questions is, I'm putting in the customers that have open invoices from 2006, is it better to enter the customers w/an opening balance or put the prior invoices in as their opening balance. If I put the invoices in w/parts that are inventoried, do I need to increase my inventory levels so these invoices can pull from it & not mess up my counts? Also, I have invoices for customers that are finance charge invoices, how would one go ab...
justwondering:I would enter the invoices, but not pulling form inventory. Make a non inventory part item - change the description so you know what it is. Now you have an actual invoice with the original date that will not effect the current year income - which you can look to if a customer needs information. Tak... More...

Quickbooks Accounting Questions?
First we are a company that does contract work for customers. We do contracts with our customers; we invoice the customer for the approval purchase contract order amount once the job is complete.

questions about quickbooks pro?
Just recently I started working with Quickbooks pro. What I really need to know is ,if you have a client on a payment plan, would there be a way to have an invoice that will list the remaining balance on the account so they know where they are in their payments, and when I pull up the same client the next month will plug in what is due for the next invoice? Also I was unable to talk to the person that was doing this job previously. Is there anyway to find invoices that may be put under the wro...

I have a question about starting up Quickbooks?
I'm starting my client up on Quickbooks with his previous year's tax return, do I need to enter the ending balances in every one of the expense accts., such as, auto expense, advertising, etc., or can I just enter the balances for the assets, liabilities, and equity?...
Courtney:no need to add ending balances in expense accounts. You only need ending balances (that in this case are begining balances) in as you said assets, liabilities, and equity.
These accounts have running balances that flow through to the next year, and are therefore necessary to move forwa... More...
I've got a VERY hard question about the accounting software quickbooks 07. If you have an answer, your a genus
At the beginning of this year we began inputting credit card charges into thru the vendor “enter bill & expenses” section of QuickBooks, however we never used the pay bill section. We simply used the data for expense tracking purposes, the same went for inputting customer invoice; we never deposited the undeposited funds. Recently we did one large fund deposit and one large bill pay but the accounts were off by 20K positive, so we temporally placing that extra income as owners draw. Now we recon...

As I understand this, you now want to move $8000.00 from the 'Owners Draw' to the expense accounts that were on the credit card statement right?
You can make a journal entry to correct this.

Quick question regarding quickbooks ? Can you help us out ?
Hey Guys
I am beginning to set up a QuickBooks file for our non-profit company. However all of the past expenses for 07 and 06. were written out of my personal checking, 2006’s expenses totaled only under 1000 ( such as legal fees, mailing, ect ). Should I only start with the current year? Also how would I record the expenses if there was no activity in the business checking account or owner’s capital contributions ?...
sosezshe:May I suggest 2 things? Non profits have VERY strict guidelines and each state has it's own set. You can find some helpful information by clicking on the help tab on your QB tool bar & entering Non Profit. You will see a link About(nonprofit) this should answer the QB side of your question.

Quickbooks question - Anyone have the problem w/ the file '69192'?

How do I use Quickbooks to track clients who miss their monthly payments?
I'm new to Quickbooks. I don't even know which key words to use to search for answers to my questions about the program. If you can point me to the appropriate sites, that would be great. Here's my problem.
I work for a law firm. A typical retainer agreement has the following figures:
$10,000 total balance
$1,000 down payment due today
$250 per month for the next 36 months.

Accounting Question, our business is turning into an inc. so we had to start a new Quickbooks account.?
in order for me to withdrawl the money out of checking in the old quickbooks and make it a zero balance, I have to assign an expense (ie: utilities, rent, professional fees...), there is no expense as this money is just moving to the new quickbooks as opening balance equity. This is the ONLY thing I cannot figure out. Our CPA has yet to return our calls, so hopefully someone who has been in this situation before can relate. We have to make the old quickbooks accurate to what's really taking p...
just_the_facts_ma'am:It shouldn't be recorded as an expense. In the situation you describe, it's a distribution to the owner(s) - so it should be charged to the appropriate equity account.
You'll have the reverse of that in the new company... More...
Quickbooks question: If I delete an item on the items list, will it effect invoices that used it in the past?
Or will it leave those alone and simply not use it in the future? I ask because I use a 3rd party software to create invoices in (to keep some people out of the books!) and then it sends it to quickbooks. I just upgraded to QB pro, 2008, and they changed the way sales tax is figured in it to where it defaults to the state tax item rather than just have the ability to use the precalc option like my old version had. because of this, its not letting my 3rd party software send the invoices to qui...

Quickbooks- Can I buy another individual license to make it multiuser?
We run Quickbooks Pro 2005 and we need to start running it as multi-user program. We only have one license and it is loaded on a laptop and a regular desktop. I called Intuit and they rudely told me we have to upgrade to 2007 (can't do that til the end of the year.) I found the 2005 Pro single license version on Amazon and my question is would that work? Or are we forced to buy the 3 user version? We just want to add one more user. Thanks so much!...

Single Owner LLC Question About Paying Out Myself Using Quickbooks?
I have a Single Owner LLC with a few independent contractors. I plan on filing my taxes as a sole proprietor and I have been keeping track of my income and expenses with Quickbooks.

Is it OK to count myself as an independent contractor of the bus...
bostonianinmo:You are not an IC of the business. The money you take out of the business goes into the Owner's Draw account. That is a "contra equity" account and any draws reduce your equity in the business.

Quickbooks question about 1099's?
I'm trying to set up property management in Quickbooks.
The Managers receive rents from tenants and forward them to the owners less mgmt fees and any repairs they've had to pay up front. For Example:
Rent Amount 1900.
Less Mgmt Fee -190.
Plumbing paid by prop mgrs -60.
Amount of Check: 1650.
Quickbooks would put $1650. on a 1099 to the owner but the mgmt company needs it to show the full amount of $1900. The owner then would then claim the expense...

Quickbooks question: If I void a credit memo, the original customer balance will show back up right?
So we had a customer who charged some services. He decided not to pay them. A while later after attempts to collect, our accountant advised me to write the amount off by issuing a credit memo for the amount owed. Now the customers family wants to pay it for him. My thinking is to void or delete the credit memo I issued so his balance comes back up and I can then apply payments. Is that right? I went to quickbooks help and they told me how to actually void the transaction, but not what happ...
pccents:I am not sure why he would have told you to issue a credit memo for the unpaid balance because then it would show in QB as paid, which makes no sense, beacause you would need to take that as a loss at the end of the year when you do your taxes. But, yes delete the credit memo so that the balance sho... More...

Quickbooks Accounting Question?
I am in the process of finishing my bookwork for my year that ended in July on Quickbooks. I am waiting on some paperwork from my bank before I can finish it and give it to my accountant. I would likt to start entering all my bookwork from August into Quickbooks. Can I do this or do I have to wait to get the corrected information back from my accountant before I can start entering in the current year information? I don't want to proceed with the current year and lose everything after I uploa...
NC:You should wait. You accountant may need to make changes to the last fiscal year data.

Quickbooks question, about inventory items....?
I am working on QBK Premiere 2007. The company manufactures and sellls bath and body products. I am setting up the inventory items. The company sells 5 different products, but they come in many different scents. should I set up an inventory item for each fragrance or for only the items? (i.e. body wash, citrus, summer rain, winter white etc...) I know the answer will be "only if you want to track sales & inventory very detailed, by fragrance." But my question is this, should I? Is it important f...
