What is the best way to get reimbursed for client expenses using quickbooks?
I have an engineering sole proprietorship. I design things for my clients, and often times I have to buy physical items, then get reimbursed by my clients.
Before using quickbooks, I kept a list of invoices in Excel. I had a column for items I would get reimbursed for. So I would have an "income" column, and a "reimbursement" column. I would simply tell my tax guy to not count the "reimbursed" column, since the money just went through me - it wasn't income.
How could I do this in Quickbooks? I still need to invoice my clients to get reimbursed, but I don't know how to tell Quickbooks that those invoices are not income.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
