Question

How would I record a canceled check that I accidentally deposited? The deposit was returned in full so there was ultimately no change in balance, less a bank fee.

I know how to record the bank fee. No funds ever left the customer's account so I hesitate to link to them. The bank simply credited me on deposit, then revoked that payment when the check was returned.

It's nice to see you here in the Community forum, userchristopher.

 

I'm here to share information with you on how to record a returned payment in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

 

You can either write a check or use a Journal entry. As this process is complicated, I recommend contacting your accountant to help decide which method best suites for you. If you don't have one, you can find an accountant near your place through this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/find-an-accountant/.

 

For more information about recording the returned payment, see the below articles:
