Hi there, @Saphire605. I'm here to lend a hand in reconciling your account in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
You can create a journal entry to record the 1 dollar unpaid amount by the bank to the employee or create a bank deposit to match the payment to the check. But before doing so, I recommend consulting an accountant for expert advice about your situation. They'll be able to guide you on which account to use to debit and credit, as well as how to ensure books are error-free.
To create a journal entry, here's how:
- On your QBDT account, go to the Company tab at the top menu bar.
- Select Make General Journal Entries.
- Fill out the fields to create your journal entry. Make sure your debits equal your credits when done.
- Select Save or Save & Close.
For more information on recording journal entries and making deposits, I encourage checking out the following articles:
For additional reference, here's a great resource about the best practices when reconciling: Reconcile Hub.
Get back to me if you have questions about recording your transactions in QBDT. We're here to help you in any way. Have a good day
