Because the IRS really likes it when you delete invoices! This is idiotic. If the people at Intuit don’t think the IRS will review the audit log and question deleted invoices, they need some lessons in accounting. Also, we (as I’m sure many others do) close the books at month end. So any transactions with failed payments that overlap month end can’t be deleted anyway. The only correct and reasonable solution is for Intuit to add a checkbox to clear the alert. Why they refuse this solution continues to baffle me.
