Choose P&L Statement or Transaction Report, then set the date range. The type is locked once you save, so pick the right one first.
Profit & loss
A P&L Statement sums your income against your expenses over the range, on a cash basis. It has three parts:- Revenue: income grouped by category, counted as the money you received in the range. It comes in automatically from your billing, so you never enter income here.
- Expenses: your costs grouped by category, in tax-form order. Each category is collapsible, and categories with no activity in the range are hidden.
- Non-deductible business expense: a separate section for costs that don’t reduce taxable income. Hidden when the total is zero.
