How do I enter historical expenses (already paid for) for 2013 to get started in new Quickbooks Online?


Expense Check
Expense Check

In order to enter historical expenses, stay with these two specific forms:
Click “+” plus icon > select “Expense” under Vendors menu
Click “+” plus icon > select “Check” under Vendors menu

Expense Form:

You can use this form to enter Debit card, ATM Card, EFT, Wire transfer or any banking related withdrawals or charges (except checks)

Choose a payee or vendor’s name > select bank name account > select Expense Date (example if the charges were for 3/1/2013, enter the same way , not today’s date >>> VERY IMPORTANT since you are entering historical charges) > select Account category > Enter Amount > Save
NOTE: You can also use this form to enter Credit Card charges as well. Just select credit card account (open add new if needed)

Check Form:

Same way like above except, enter actual Check Number rather than Reference Number.
Once again, key here is to carefully select accurate expense date since you are entering historical transactions. You can use Expense date as posted on the bank statement.
