Question

Returned Cheque

I record cheques in Undeposited Funds until they show in the bank feed, then transfer them to the Current Account.  A cheque was returned for insufficient funds.  On the online bank statement  it shows one amount for two cheques that were paid in together, as a deposit, then a debit for the returned cheque.  How will I proceed with entering this on QB so that I can reconcile these amounts at the end of the month please?

 

Thank you

Hello 5h47on,

 

Based on the details you've provided, there's only one transaction that we need to record in QuickBooks Online. Before that, let's review what transactions already reflected on your bank statement:

  • the two cheques reflected on your bank statement and already recorded in your QuickBooks register.
  • the deposit that contains the two bounced cheques, but wasn't recorded yet in your QuickBooks register.

With those details, we can follow what transactions reflected on your bank statement. Hence, we'll create a bank deposit directly affecting your QuickBooks bank account:

  1. Click the +New button on the left menu and select Bank deposit.

     
  2. In the Account field, enter the bank account and the deposit date.

     
  3. Go to the Add funds to this deposit section.
  4. Enter the details of the bank deposit that reflected on your bank statement (equivalent of the two bounced cheques).

     
  5. Click Save and close.

After that, you can match it to the bank deposit that was cleared and reflected on your bank statement.

 

With this process, you can reconcile the account with ease. Have a great day!
