Hey there, @Paul254.
Let me help you record these transactions in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
There are two ways on how you can record your expenses in QuickBooks. You can either create checks using the Write checks feature or enter your credit charges using the Credit Card Purchase/Charge.
Once your bank transactions are downloaded in the Center, you can match them with the ones you've entered in QuickBooks.
In case you've selected the Add option when categorizing your bank transactions and you've already created the same transaction inside QuickBooks, this will create duplicates in your bank register. If this is the case, you can still delete it and match it to the ones you've created.
Here's how:
- Go to the List menu and open the bank account.
- Look for the added bank transaction that's causing the duplicate.
- Right-click the transaction and select Delete Credit Card Charge/Checks.
- Once deleted, go back to the Bank Feeds Center and open the bank.
- Click Transaction List and select Match to Existing Transaction in the ACTION column.
- Look for a match and click Confirm Match once done.
