Hi Everyone,

Our CPA would like to see a Trial Balance from Dec 31, 2012 and Jan 1, 2013. I have tried to run the report out of the GL (i.e. Reports>Trial Balance). When we run the report there is no option to change the specific day so we are stuck looking at the end of the month for each period. I have check the box that says "include opening balances" but the report is no different than not checking the box.

Thanks

Clint

Hi Clint

If your year-end is Dec 31, then there is no real difference between the two reports, except that for the Jan 1 trial balance all of the income and expense accounts will have a zero balance, and the Retained Earnings account will be higher by the net income of the prior year. That's easy enough to adjust in Excel after exporting the Dec 31 trial balance to Excel.

For the opening report, select the "Opening balances for the period." option for the report an choose period 1.

There's no need to go to Excel.
