How do I use and select and expense account when doing a bank deposit? I need to remove bank fees so the deposit amount matches.

Hello. I am trying to record a bank deposit where the bank fees are automatically removed (typically using Stripe). So when I go to the second line if the bank deposit and try to change the 'Account' heading to an expense it will only allow me to choose from my bank accounts. So when i go to reconcile the negative bank fee shows as a deposit instead. How do I add expense fees to the account type?

Allow me to join you here and share details about making bank deposits in QBO, njharrell-gmail-.

 

I'd also like to let you know that you can only select a bank account when creating a bank deposit. This is because the deposit feature is generally used to move or put amounts into your bank account from sales or undeposited funds. 

 

If the fee was downloaded in your Online Banking, you can exclude it. Then, manually create an expense transaction. Here's how to exclude a transaction:

 

  1. Go to Banking menu and select Banking.
  2. Proceed to the For Review tab.
  3. Select the checkbox of the transactions to exclude.
  4. Click Exclude.

 

Once done, create an expense transaction to record the bank fee. Please use this article as your guide: Enter and Manage Expenses in QuickBooks Online.

 

You can also use these articles as references in case you need to review or manage vendor-related transactions in QBO:

Thanks for the quick reply.  So there’s no way to make this one transaction?  That seems strange - so do I then have to remember which expense transactions are related to the back deposits when it comes time to reconcile?  Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response.  So there’s no way to record this as one transaction?  That seems strange especially since so many CC transactions.  How do I know which extra expense fee is related to which deposit transaction?  Thanks.
