When I deposited the check I made the following entry: debit to checking, and credit to opening balance equity. But what entry should be made to record the withdrawal of funds from the old account?

I got you covered today, walton123.

 

You can create a Check or an Expense to record the withdrawal of funds from the old account. For the accounts affected, you can choose an Equity account or better check with your accountant to make you're using the correct account.

 

  1. Go to the +New icon.
  2. Choose Check or Expense under Vendors.
  3. Fill in the necessary information.
  4. Click Save and close.

To review the transactions you created, you can run the Check Detail report or the Expenses by Vendor Summary report. Just go to the Reports menu and type in the name of the report.

 

I also have some additional articles about managing a wide range of reports in QBO:

Get back to me if you need help further help when recording entries or anything else. I'd be happy to assist. Enjoy the rest of the day!
