QuickBooksGal is Back











Hi, I’m Jayne Miller, the QuickBooks Gal. Welcome to another in our series of “Quicklets” –informational podcasts about QuickBooks and related bookkeeping topics.

Hi everyone. I’m back. It’s been a while since our last visit. We’ve had a busy Spring and now we’re ready to jump into the Summer season. I’ve spent some of the time since our last podcast getting caught up, recruiting new staff, remodeling our offices, vacationing and most recently, I became an Advanced QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor. I look forward to sharing more tips, tricks and information with you soon. I’ll be returning to our bi-monthly podcast format this month. Look for our next Podcast around the 10th of June.
I am currently working on a new service exclusively for QuickBooks ProAdvisors. It will be a place where you can go for assistance with your QuickBooks questions. I’ve been supporting QuickBooks and other accounting software packages for many years and look forward to supporting your needs. If you are in the QuickBooks Referral Database and would like to receive an email with more information, please drop me a line at jayne@quickbooksgal.com and I will be sure to offer you an opportunity to become a charter member.
If you haven’t looked into it yet, don’t forget that Intuit has a new Payroll option for small business owners with 1-3 employees who want to process their own payroll. The new program is called QuickBooks Basic Payroll (Limited Employees). It’s just right for clients who have 1 to 3 employees and who either do their tax forms and filings themselves, or have a bookkeeper, ProAdvisor or accountant to help with these critical tasks. It enables payroll processing only (no federal or state tax forms, but all the information to prepare the forms, and includes tax table updates. The price for the first year is $69 and will be $99 for subsequent years.

How to "Un" Apply Credits In QuickBooks

Image
Got a QuickBooks Mess? Call The QuickBooks Gal! Welcome to the QuickBooks Minute. I’m Jayne Miller, the QuickBooks Gal Recently, one of our Reno QuickBooks customers asked about "unapplying" credits in QuickBooks. While there are nicely labeled apply credits buttons, there are none marked unapply. This is the case for both customers (invoicing) and vendors (paying bills). So here is how it is done: For customers, it is a fairly easy process. Go to the invoice to which the credit was applied. Then click on the "Apply Credits" button. In the lower half of the new window that pops up is a list of Previously Applied Credits. Simply find the one, or ones you wish to unapply and click on the check mark next to it to make the check mark disappear. The credit will no longer be applied or tied to that invoice. For Vendors, i.e. bill payments, it is not as clean and simple. The only way to unapply a credit in such a case is to Delete the credit. You can then ...
