I'm here to guide you in handling your income transactions to maintain the accuracy of your financial data, info.

 

Let's start with your duplicate payments. Such transactions will appear multiple times in your income statement when QuickBooks Payments processes them and you also did a manual record in your account. Once you're certain that these entries are duplicates, delete them by following these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Sales menu, then select All sales.
  2. Filter the transaction Type to Money received.
  3. Find the payment you want to delete.
  4. In the Action column, select the dropdown, then choose the Delete option.

 

On the other hand, QuickBooks Payments will only charge a fee once an online payment goes through. With this, I recommend checking your Merchant account to verify why you're being charged. Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to the Merchant Service Center.
  2. From the homepage, select Activities & Reports.
  3. Choose Fees.
  4. Select the date range in the Dates field.
  5. Click Search.

 

For more details about finding transactions in the Merchant Service Center, please see this article: Locate deposits and fees in the Merchant Service Center.
