Question

How do I post a negative expense on a business credit card? I tried to go the 3step supplier credit way. That seems to only work with a bank account rather than a CC

Hello crossedts, 

 

Welcome to the Community! It's good to see that you've already tried to post this transaction using the supplier credit method. QuickBooks Online also includes a handy Credit card credit function that should work for your situation. I can walk you through how to do this. 

 

The Credit card credit feature allows you to record a "negative" expense or refund to your credit card. Here are the steps to do this: 

 

  • Select the +New button, and under the Supplier section, click Credit card credit. 
  • In the Payee dropdown menu, select the supplier that this amount relates to. 
  • In the Bank/credit account dropdown, ensure that the correct credit card is selected if you have more than one. 
  • Enter the Payment Date, a Ref No. if applicable, and the rest of the details for this transaction such as Category, Amount, and Sales Tax.
  • Once all of the necessary information has been entered, click Save and close. 

 

Your credit card will now show a credit in the Account history, which you can review by going to Accounting > Chart of Accounts > Account History. 

 

Please reach out if you need any further assistance!
