Hi there, 

 

Being a tattoo artist must be a really exciting job! As their accountant, it's important that you're there to help him record his tips properly in QuickBooks Online. I'll point you in the right direction with this. 

 

When a customer overpays an invoice to give you a tip, you need to record the income. Here’s how: Record an invoice overpayment as a tip. As explained in this article, you'll create a non-inventory item for the tips and track the revenue to your preferred income account. You'll simply add this non-inventory item to the invoice or sales receipt, and specify the tip amount. 

 

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our tech support team. 

 

Cheers.
