      I work for accounting at restaurants business. Having a trouble understanding….with tip…
      Tips is payable to employees and my CPA said it’s not an expense…
      Im confused of card tip…
      Restaurant has card sales including card tips…
      Should gross sales exclude card tips? What about sales tax?
      Even if card tips excluded in gross sale, those tips are paid as bank card merchant service fee…and payroll taxes are also included those tips…
      So my question is
      1. Should gross sale not include sales tax, card tip?
      2. In qb, is it okay for p and I statement not matched with balance sheet ?
      3. Payroll taxes are automatically paid in the bank account…and it’s lump sum payment…
      When I write a paycheck for payroll, qb calculates payroll taxes for each employees…
      For bank reconciliation, I’m having difficulty….payroll taxes on paycheck and payroll taxes autopay in bank..
      Those are not matched to reconcile…And it can be duplicated payroll taxes….
      But anyway in bank account, those both withdrawn in a bank…
      Should I just add lump sump payroll taxes autopay in qb to reconcile?

      @@louietoltolvlog9699 1. Correct gross sales should not include taxes or tips, those go to sales tax payable and tips payable. 2. Not sure of the question. Net income on PL should match Net income closed to retained earnings on the balance sheet. 3. You can enter as a lump sum to reconcile but will still have to break them out between expense and liability for the withheld portion. Payroll companies withhold the taxes for both employee and employer portion and the employer portion is an expense and employee portion is a liability.

    Hi my husband is considering taking your Master class online after watching your short video on accounts receivables because of your simple explanation. Now my question to you is this
    1. Is that how simple it is in a real world scenario?
    2. Does he need to be certified as a Quick books Accountant to do accounts cleanup for clients? He is currently taking the course online through Intuit U.S even though we are in Canada
    3. Can he get support from after taking your course and runs into some challenges when he starts working
    4. Does your Master program covers the tax aspect of both the U.S and Canada?
    I appreciate your contributions to the benefits of humanity through this medium.
    Thanks

      Thanks so much Jen! Simple answers are as follows:
      1. Sometimes yes sometimes no
      2. No
      3. Yes with my course it’s lifetime support for the one time fee
      4. Do you mean answering questions related to taxes? It depends on what it is but in general, yes, I answer those questions as well. I do tax work essentially as my career through my CPA firm, The Hultquist Firm (www.thehultquistfirm.com). I am not a Canadian tax expert but have helped answer various questions on Canadian taxes over the years.

    Very interesting! One question: When the monthly registration is automated and the date arrives when Quickbooks makes the monthly accounting entry, does Quickbooks notify you that it did? Or in any case, is there a special classification in the journal of this type of transaction to be able to check if Quickbooks did the job well?

    Great video thanks.
    What about prepaid expenses that are different each month and those expenses are billable to clients.
    Tolls equals to a prepaid amount and then debits that prepaid amount. I pass tolls onto my client.
    What should Indiana ezpass toll be in QBO as? Indiana ezpass charges a deposit for tolls to be debited from. Then when a toll is processed and debited from the balance of ezpass, how should that entry be put in QBO? When the balance gets to a certain point, Indiana ezpass charges the bank or credit card to build its balance. How should that entry be put in QBO?
    Thank in advance, hope to see a video of setup and then how to process it.

    I have a question. At the end of the year, for our year end, we write a check for upcoming year expenses for chemical. My question is how do I record the credit to the vendor also have it come out of our bank account. Vendor xxxx 32,000.00 they cash check for upcoming year. I do have a prepaid account set up but have never used it. I think I understand, that I would simply write the check to the vendor, record it into the prepaid account and as the invoices come in, I would just do a general journal entry and post to prepaid account and our chemical account?

    How can you do this but affect the checking account so it shows a realistic balance anyway? Lets say to draw the cash from the checking accounting into a prepaid account that will be deducted over the cover period, lets say 6 or 12 months. This method is no different than just using a check and memorize that check for the next 11 or 5 months remaining which is simpler than creating journal entries, this method just gives a visibility of the balance is my guess within the other asset but I don't see how it helps on showing the actual account balance which it truly doesn't. I was hoping to see something like, draw the actual cash spent in that month but don't show the full amount as an expense for the month but rather an evenly distributed expense when it comes to profit and loss review.
    This method does the trick with profit and loss but doesn't give me the true balance for when it comes down to end of month reconciliation. Thank you for the video, just trying to see different ways that one can see what's actually available to expense.

    • @QbuniversityOrg
      @QbuniversityOrg  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If I understand you correctly you will be overstating cash. So if you spend $12,000 on January 1 for a 12 month premium, you spent $12,000 of cash for an expense to be recognized as $1,000 per month for 12 months
