Question

How to document a credit card payment correction

  • February 11, 2022

I incorrectly made a credit card payment to Chase for $16,066.90. The $16,066.90 came out of my Wells Fargo bank account. Once it posted I contacted chase and let them know of the error. I actually meant to make the payment for the actual statement balance of $9388.12. I contacted Chase and they reversed the payment of $16,066.90 to my chase account and made the correct payment of $9388.12. They then refunded my Wells Fargo account the difference of $6,678.78. 

I am in need of assistance in correctly documenting the reversal of the $16,066.90 and also the new payment of $9,388.12 while still recognizing the initial payment that was made from Wells Fargo.

 

Step by step advice would be appreciated. 

Thank you in advance!

    I've got your back on recording credit card payment and refund, @Natalie227.

     

    You can enter a credit card credit to document the reversal of the $16,066.90. Here's how:

     

    1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
    2. Click + New button, then select Credit card credit.
    3. Choose the vendor from the drop-down.
    4. In the Bank/Credit account field, select the credit card account you received the refund.
    5. Enter the necessary information and the amount.
    6. Click Save and close.

     

    On the other hand, you'll need to create a Pay down credit card or write a check to record your new payment of $9,388.12. Please follow the steps below:

     

    1. Click the + New button, then select Pay down credit card.
    2. Select the credit card you made the payment to.
    3. Enter the payment amount and the date.
    4. Choose the bank account you paid the credit card with.
    5. Enter the necessary information. Then, click Save and close.

    I'm having the same issue - My client made a credit card payment, then reversed it a month later.

    SO just voiding the payment is incorrect, because I need to reconcile to the Credit Card Statement and the transactions are showing up in two different months/statements.

     

    This doesn't work.

     

    A Credit Card Credit will show up as a payment - And you can't make it a negative.

    So this creates a duplicate payment and no payment reversal.

    Help?

    Thanks for joining in on this thread, sooverit2. I'll share insights about credit card payments and refunds.

     

    Beforehand, may I ask if your client has reversed credit card payments within or outside QuickBooks? Any additional information is much appreciated, as this will help us identify further and provide a detailed solution to ensure these statements are reconciled accurately.

     

    If these payments are reversed outside QuickBooks, let's enter a credit card credit to ensure a refund of the reversal amount.

     

    Here's how:

     

    1. In your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account, click the + New icon and select Credit card credit.
    2. Find the appropriate account from the Bank/Credit Account drop-down box.
    3. Under the Category details, choose the account you've received the refund.
    4. Enter the other necessary information and amount.
    5. Select Save and close.
