Welcome to the Community space, Sarah. We'll provide information to help you handle this situation and record the reimbursement that you received inside QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Before anything else, please know that it'll depend on how you entered the transactions inside your account. Inside QBO, you can enter an expense transaction to keep track of the charges made to your bank account. We'll write down the steps to get you going:

 

  1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. On the left navigational bar, click the +New button and then select Expense.
  3. Enter the necessary details in each field.
  4. In the Category details section, choose the correct category and add the information in each column.
  5. Once done, click the Save and close button.

 

To record the reimbursement you received, feel free to visit this page: Enter vendor credits and refunds in QuickBooks Online.

 

If you're unsure of the accounts and category to use for the transaction, we recommend working with an accountant. This way, they can provide more details on handling this situation inside QBO. If you don't have an accountant, I can help you find one. Feel free to visit this page: Find a QuickBooks ProAdvisor.

 

In addition, here are some articles about handling bank transactions and reconciling an account inside the program:
