How do I categorize a reimbursement to my company for continuing ed services I paid for. The state provides $ for this. I paid and the state paid me back.

The state provides funding for small businesses for approved continuing ed courses. I was approved to receive such funding for a course. I paid for the course, attended the course, submitted the paperwork, and eventually was reimbursed by the state for the full cost. How do I record this? It's not technically income.

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, info-starluna-ne. Let me assist you in ensuring that you can categorize a reimbursement you've got from the state in QuickBooks. Also, I'll ensure you'll be pointed to the right person to assist you further on this matter.

 

Choosing a certain account is one of the important details you've entered while recording the payment for the course you've paid for. With this, I recommend recording the reimbursement as a deposit in QuickBooks and using the same account you selected to record the payment. Before doing so, I suggest consulting an accountant. They'll be able to provide you with suggestions on how to properly handle the reimbursement, especially with the category to use.

 

Here's how to deposit:

 

  1. Click the + New button and chooose Bank Deposit.
  2. From the Account dropdown, choose the same account you used when recording the payment.
  3. fill in the other necessary field particularly the amount you received.
  4. Click Save and close.
