Deposited a company income by mistake into the personal bank account, how do I deal with this?

Hello there, Ugur01. I'm here to help you with the income deposits that were accidentally made to your personal account instead of your business account. 

It doesn't necessarily indicate a problem, but it's essential to track your income properly. Therefore, you'll need to send the money to the business bank account. 

Meanwhile, we'll need to create a dummy personal bank account in QuickBooks to transfer the funds from and to for proper reconciliation. 

To create a dummy personal bank account:

1. Hover over the Gear icon and select Chart of accounts.
2. Click New, then set the Account Type to Cash at bank and in hand.
3. Hit Save and Close. 

Now that we've added a dummy bank account, we can transfer the income:

1. Hover over to +New, then select Transfer.
2. In the Transfer Funds From, choose the personal bank account.
3. In the Transfer Funds To, choose the company bank account. 
4. Input the correct date and transfer amount.
5. Once done, hit Save and close. 

Now you can make the dummy personal account inactive since the balance will now be 0.00. 

I'll be adding these resources as a guide in handling your transaction in QuickBooks Online:

• Set up bank rules to categorise online banking transactions. 
• Categorise and match bank transactions. 
• Reconcile an account. 

I'm always here if you need more help with your income deposit and transactions. You can leave a comment down below. Have a good one! 

Thank you, 

But there are only company bank accounts on the Quickbooks Online. When I transfer from my personal bank account to the company bank account, how can I record this amount in accounting terms? 

Best. 

Thanks for getting back to this thread @Ugur01.

 I understand how important it is to transfer the money from your personal bank account to the company's bank account. Let me help you sort this thing out.

We'd recommend checking with your accountant if you're unsure which specific accounts to use, but you can create a liability-type account within your Chart of Accounts to track the loan if you have one.

To record the personal bank account to the company bank account here's how:

1. Go to the + New menu.
2. Select Journal entry.
3. Enter the expense account for the purchase on the first line. 
4. Type in the purchase amount under the Debits column.
5. Enter Partner's equity or Owner's equity on the second line.
6. Type in the same purchase amount under the Credits column.
7. When done, press Save and close.
