How do I receive any Journal Entries from TurboTax business

TurboTax Business doesn't directly generate journal entries for QuickBooks, but you can derive them based on the tax return data. Here's how you can approach it:

 

  1. Review Your Tax Return: After completing your tax return in TurboTax Business, review the financial statements and schedules (e.g., Schedule C, Schedule K-1, etc.) for income, expenses, and adjustments.
  2. Identify Key Transactions: Look for items like depreciation, amortization, tax adjustments, and other entries that may not already be recorded in QuickBooks.
  3. Create Journal Entries in QuickBooks: Use the information from your tax return to create manual journal entries in QuickBooks. For example:
  • Record depreciation expense and accumulated depreciation.
  • Adjust retained earnings for any tax-related changes.
  • Reconcile income and expense accounts to match the tax return.
