Hi there, Nicole8822.
Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community. I appreciate you providing detailed information about the specific version you're using. With this, I'll share details on how Contributed report work in QuickBooks Desktop, then troubleshooting steps to ensure that you can see the Contributed report on your end smoothly.
Please know that the Contributed report for QuickBooks Desktop 2020 has already been discontinued. If you used the said version, I recommend upgrading your QBDT to a newer version of QuickBooks Desktop so you can access the said report. This also includes the most recent and improved features.
However, if you're not using the said version above or you are currently using the most recent edition of QuickBooks, I suggest running the Verify and Rebuild Data Utilities to get this sorted out. The Verify Data utility identifies any potential data damage issues that might've caused to unable to view the Contributed report. While the Rebuild Data utility repairs damaged data in your company file. Before this, you'll have to secure a backup copy of your company file.
To Verify data:
- Go to the File menu.
- Scroll down to Utilities.
- Select Verify Data.
- Click OK.
To Rebuild Data:
- Go back to the File menu.
- Choose Utilities.
- Select Rebuild Data.
- Click on OK when you get the message Rebuild has completed.
