Question

Help categorizing a payroll screw up transaction

Hello,

I've got an issue that I can't figure out. My partner and I both receive a W2 salary from our business. My partner requested a change to her 401K withholding so that she could max out by year end. I made the changes in QB but for whatever reason, the changes didn't take. As a result, she was paid her full amount without the extra being withheld for her 401K. But I had already sent the extra amount to our retirements accounts. So I called Intuit and they reversed the paycheck. Keep in mind, she has already received the full amount via direct deposit. They told me to then issue a manual check to her for the correct amount but NOT to send it to her. Then, I had her transfer the difference back to our business account. The end result SHOULD be that the books are now correct, the correct amount has been sent to her retirement account and she has been left with the correct net amount of cash.  But I can't figure out where to categorize the amount she transferred back to the business account. Currently, my QB balance is showing an amount over what is actually in our bank account that is equal to exactly the amount she transferred back. I think that will work itself out as soon as I figure out how to categorize it. Any thoughts?
