Journal Entries

If the journal entry included an income or expense account, it would appear on the P&L if the date of the JE falls within the dates of the P&L. When you create the P&L, click on modify report to change the basis--cash/accrual (or look in the accounting preferences). I can't remember exactly where/how to change it in Simple Start. If you need/ want more reports and capabilities you might consider getting QB Pro--2009 is now available!!!

Michelle L. L> Why don't Journal Entries show up on Profit and Loss?  I don't recall and

They do not show up because you either entered the wrong date for the journal entry or the period for the Profit and Loss statement. Look again there is a button for either cash or accrual on the modify tab of many reports.
