I'm glad to help you record a return check in QuickBooks Online, atulmishra11697.

 

Entering a return check depends on how your bank handles the transaction. If your bank covered it and charged you a fee, here's how to record it.

 

  1. Click + New, then Expense.
  2. From the Payee ▼ drop-down menu:
    • Select the supplier if the bank charged it to them.
    • Select the bank if they charged it to your account.
  3. From the Payment account ▼ drop-down menu, select the account you use to pay expenses.
  4. To distinguish it from other expenses, enter “NSF fee” in the Ref no. field.
  5. Under the Category column, select Bank Charges.
  6. Enter the amount you were charged for.
  7. Click Save.

 

If your bank didn't cover it, please refer to this link for the steps: What to do if your check bounces and your bank account has non-sufficient funds.

 

If the check is coming from your customer payment, there are a few ways to handle the accounting. You can use an expense or a journal entry. 
 

Follow the method that works best for you.
