Question

When classifying bank transactions, can I split the transaction into 2 parts, one to be excluded and the other to be a business expense?

Hello, @mark-prather@out. I'd be glad to provide some insights about categorizing split transactions.

 

Splitting a transaction to exclude a portion, then categorizing the rest is unavailable in QuickBooks Online. What we can do is manually add these transactions. It also saves time if you're reviewing your chart of accounts and need to make a quick addition. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Accounting menu and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Find the account register you want to review the select View register from the Actions column.
  3. To add a transaction, select the Add journal entry, Add deposit or Add check ▼.
  4. Select the transaction you want to add and fill in the required fields.
  5. Once done, select Save.

After manually adding the transaction, you can now exclude your transaction from the For review tab.
