Welcome to the Community, Peggy.

 

I'd be glad to guide you and provide insight in creating a Journal Entry (JE) in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

To do that:

 

  1. Select + New.
  2. Select Journal entry.
  3. On the first line, select an account from the Account field. Depending on if you need to debit or credit the account, enter the amount in the correct column.
  4. On the next line, select the other account you're moving money to or from. Depending on if you entered a debit or credit on the first line, enter the same amount in the opposite column.
  5. Check the amounts - you should have the same amount in the Credit column on one line and the Debit column on the other. This means the accounts are in balance.
  6. Enter information in the memo section so you know why you made the journal entry.
  7. Select Save and new or Save and close.

 

In selecting the Debit or Credit on your Account, I highly recommend contacting your accountant.

 

Additionally, for more detailed information on creating Journal entry transactions, refer to this article: Create Journal entries in QBO.

 

For future reference, you can check this article to guide you on how to reverse a journal entry to swap the debits and credits, or delete it entirely: Reverse or Delete journal entry in QBO.

 

Please don't hesitate to leave a comment below if you have any concerns about the journal entry or other QBO-related matters. I will answer them in any possible way. Stay Safe!
