Question

My last QST filing result was refund of $2704.39. The refund cheque came in with amount of $2694.04, with a interest and penalty deduction of $10.36 from long time ago. How should I record this? If I recorded the refund as $2694.04 then QBO shows there are $10.35 to be refunded; If I recorded that I received the refund $2704.39 then the chequing account won't be balanced. How should I do?
