Payment from Govt that includes interest

I'm sure this is a simple fix but being new to QB, it's beyond me.  We received a payment from the Government (US) that included interest because it was late.  How do I apply to interest to interest income?  I've applied the full amount of the payment to the customer account (as I want to show the full payment).  I would think that I could 'write off' the over-payment to a G/L account but not sure how to do that.  TIA for any advice!

to reflect the interest on the invoice, which I do not think I would do, add an item that posts to interest income and enter that amount

 

I would receive the amount invoiced, and in make deposits on the next line select the interest income account and enter the amount

Thank you for the reply.  Unfortunately if I use the Make Deposits option, there is no way to select the Interest Income account.  Other thoughts?

Thank you!  My ignorance - I took From Account to be a customer.  I didn't look at the options.  I'm all set.  Thanks for the input - much appreciated!
