I'm glad to see you here in the Community space, Marie. I'll gladly share the steps for clearing bounced checks in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

A check bounces when your account has insufficient funds, resulting in an NSF fee. Since your bank charged your fee, you'll only need to record the bank fee, as the check has been processed already.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the + New option.
  2. Select Expense and from the Payee dropdown menu, choose the bank.
  3. From the Payment account dropdown, select the account you use to pay expenses.
  4. EnterNSF feein the Ref no. field.
  5. Under the Category column, choose Bank Charges.
  6. Enter the amount you were charged for and hit Save.

 

For other ways of managing a bounced check based on different scenarios, please see this article: What to do if your check bounces and your bank account has insufficient funds.

 

Additionally, I'll share these resources that will guide you in recording your payments and deposits in QuickBooks:
