First of all, hire a tax professional. You're asking how to get tax information from your financial accounting records.
With that out of the way, and I'm not your tax professional, the "I may still be owed $500" does not matter (simplified). GROSS REVENUE CASH BASIS: Simply sum the cash received, and that's your cash income for the year. The $500 was not received, so it's not income. On a cash basis, the $500 will be income when received (hopefully soon, but nevertheless in the future). GROSS REVENUE ACCRUAL: Assuming your financial accounting is reasonably correct (i.e. the revenue is correctly recorded--many complications here), then you'll just sum your revenue for the year. The income is recognized at the time when it was earned, so once again, the $500 not received does not matter. The expense side is essentially the same, and then the difference is your income. Again, there are many complication here in both revenue and expenses, and then there are more complications in tax reporting, so you really need to hire a local professional to guide you through your local requirements. > On 02/02/2026 1:41 PM PST Daffy Duck <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > What is the easiest way to see actual income PAYMENTS for the year so > you can get gross revenue? > > If I look at income:sales, it shows invoices as well, in terms of, I > issued an invoice for $3,500, but the problem is, I may still be owed > $500. > > Sort of the same issue if I have a transaction report looking at > accounts receivable. > > I basically need to know payments applied to income:sales for the year. > > Right now, it still includes outstanding invoice payments, as I > mentioned. > > Thanks! _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
