Where do I find the offset entry in QBO after posting transactions from credit card bank feed? Do I need to connect both checking account and credit card account to use the bank feed?

Good day, @LNN1.

Let me assist you on how to show your posted credit card transaction in the QuickBooks Online (QBO) bank feeds and locate the offset entry.

Yes, connecting your credit card or checking account to QuickBooks Online (QBO) is important to automatically sync the posted transactions to the QBO's bank feed.

Here's how:

1. Click the Transactions tab, then pick Bank transactions.
2. Tap the Link account in the right corner.
3. Type your bank's name or URL in the Search section, then pick the bank.
4. Enter your Sign info in the Login and Password fields, then click Continue. Choose the account you want to connect and the date to pull transactions from the Dropdown icon. Then, choose Next. Please know that some banks let you download the last 90 days of transactions, and others can go back to 24 months.
5. Choose an Account type, then Next. Ensure to select an account that matches your chart of accounts in QuickBooks. You can click +Add new if you don't see one.
6. After that, map the bank account in the Existing accounts section, then click Next.
7. Tap Connect, then Done.

You can choose not to link your bank account to QBO. Instead, manually input your credit card transactions. For more info, you can read this article: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.

After uploading automatically or manually, the posted transactions will show in the Bank Transactions where the QBO bank feeds are located. Feel free to follow these steps:

1. Go back to the Transactions, and select Bank transactions.
2. Choose the credit card account tile, and check the For review section below.
3. Click Confirm to categorize the imported transactions or Review to see if there are duplicates and Match them
4. After that, check the Categorized section to see if the transactions are placed in the correct accounts.

Then, review the offset entry in the Chart of Accounts section. Then, search for the credit card account and click View register.

Thank you for your response, but it is not clear if a checking account used to pay for the credit card must be connect to QB in order to use the bank feed feature.
