Deposited Check with wrong amount listed

I deposited a check with the wrong amount then what was listed on check and bank sent back a letter saying they subtracted the difference. How do I enter this in QuickBooks to have my bank feed match up to that?

Deposited Check with wrong amount listed

Good day to you, @doorsystem. I'll make sure you'll be able to match the incorrect check amounts to the bank feeds in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

You'll want to add a line item with a negative amount to match the total of the deposit to your bank transaction.

 

Follow these steps to proceed:

 

  1. Go to the Banking menu, then choose the Make Deposits.
  2. Select the account you want to put the deposit into from the Deposit to drop-down.
  3. Enter the date you made the deposit at your bank.
  4. Fill in the necessary information.
  5. Add a line item with a negative amount for the subtracted difference.
  6. Check the deposit total. Ensure the account and selected payments match the deposited check from your bank.
  7. Click Save & Close.

 

For more information about recording bank deposits, please refer to this article: Record and make bank deposits in QBDT.

 

See this screenshot as an example of adding a line item with negative amount:

 

 

Once done, you can proceed to match your Bank Feed transactions in QBDT.

 

You can also review your accounts to match your statement. Please read this article for your reference: Reconcile An Account In QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Let me know if you need further help with your bank feeds. I'm always here to help you more. Have a great day!
