  • I am new to Wave - I think I get how to do transfers for credit card payments, although I am confused by consistently seeing two identical-looking transactions to match with the transfer. But when I try to do a split transaction in the transfer I get 2 and 3 listings of the transfer in accounting. What do I do with the two matches offered in trans…

  • I have set up separate business and personal accounts in Wave. I am now seeing many personal transactions duplicated in my business transactions. I have added both business and personal bank accounts to both accounts in the Chart of Accounts so I could correctly assign transfers between the accounts. What have I done wrong? Do I need to delete the…

  • Hope someone can help as this is stopping us from using Wave. We need to be able to with hold 2-3% tax after adding a 7% VAT to an amount, is this possible in Wave?

  • Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to print individual expense account reports that do not include a 'Starting Balance' When I look at the overview of all account balances, there is no data in the Starting Balance column for any of my expenses. When I click on the individual account to see the transaction detail, there is a starting balance. I ass…

  • The notes part of the transaction details is missing in the Beta. No you cannot access the notes entered from the past. This is a big disappointment for an upgrade. An improvement would be to allow the search to use the notes field, as well as keeping it intact.

  • Hi there, Quick question regarding expenses paid out of pocket. The only expenses incurred by our business in 2020 were paid out of pocket. I listed all of these expenses in the owner investment/drawing account type. When I run our balance sheet to prepare our taxes I noticed theses expenses show under equity. Is this correct? or should these exp…

  • So the transfers between my two accounts are "synced", but the expenses are not. I made one personal expense at Sam's by accident on my business card, and I paid for a bunch of business expenses with my personal card. I guess what I want is for the owners draw/investment on my personal account to be added to the report on my business a…

  • Say I sold a property for cash for 10k, with 1k of that paying for closing costs for an income of 9k. What is the best way to log this transaction? Currently I'm adding 2 transactions, one "Sales" deposit transaction for the 10k income, and one custom "Title Fees" withdrawal for the 1k expense. I'm not a huge fan of this as it'…

  • I use Wave for my business and personal accounting. We tried to add my wife's business and personal accounting too. Unfortunately, the setup defaulted to making her personal account a business account, so the COA is completely wrong for tracking for EOY taxes. How do we fix or change this? The system only lets me create a new business, not a n…

  • Hi, it's my first day with on Wave and I notice that I wasn't able to upload a receipt as I record by bill payment. I had to upload it on the receipt section but my total loss increased twice, once each for the bill payment and the receipt which I believe to have been recognized as a separate transaction. How can I avoid this from happening? I n…

  • I recently created a new bill in Wave, and when I attempted to register the payment, I got this error: "Error modifying €###.## payment". Although it eventually does record the payment to the bill upon refresh, it does not post the payment to Transactions. I have already deleted the payment/bill and recreated both, but I get the same err…

  • Can I enter the amount charged by the vendor for sales tax, rather than having to enter a tax rate? The problem is that I do not know the vendor's tax rate and I tried to figure out what it is but is seems that they charged different rates on different invoices. I don't really care how much sales tax was charged. I just want to enter the bills int…

  • Hello, I recently created a sales tax, and I added it to my invoice. However, it is dramatically under calculating the amount of tax that I need to collect. I didn't notice it on the first 2 invoices, and it cost me several thousand dollars of uncollected sales tax that I had to pay out of my own pocket. I have 2 items: Item 1 - $4,300.00 Item…

  • Is there a way to include the transaction Notes field in reports? I have not found any report whose detail includes Notes. Further, the transaction search does not include Notes. Is there an option for this?

  • I'm new to the Wave world. I've just put in all my receipts for the expenses for my small business. I can't seem to find a category for my supplies to make my product. I've put them in office supplies but it's not right to me. The other option I can see is uncategorized expense... Can anyone give me some insight please? Thanks!

  • It would be awesome if when categorizing a split deposit, the next space down would automatically calculate the difference. For instance from paypal downloads, when I put in what the customer paid and then the difference is the fee that I have to manually calculate or go to paypal to find. Or breaking out deposits from several places that were mad…
