Paypal 2.0 making duplicate entries?

I started using PayPal 2.0 about 60 days ago, and I have discovered a problem, but I'm not sure what is causing it.

 

I download entries from PayPal using the 2.0 app, and I code them to the correct account.  

Many payments we make through PayPal are contractor payments for work they have done.

When I started working on my 1099's, I noticed that the PayPal entries are in the contractor's account twice, but I can't figure out why or how to correct the problem.

 

I have to get this resolved so I can report the correct 1099 information.

Has anyone seen this problem, or is it something that I have done incorrectly, and if so, how do I fix it?

 

Thanks

EJ

Paypal 2.0 making duplicate entries?

You can exclude duplicate transactions from your connected PayPal account, EJ. I'm happy to guide you through the steps to resolve this.

 

Once you've verified that your transactions are showing up twice in QuickBooks, you can remove them to keep your records accurate. Here’s how to do it:

 

  1. Go to Transactions, then select App Transactions.
  2. Use the dropdown menu to filter by PayPal Payments.
  3. Select the For Review tab.
  4. In the Action column, select all the transactions you want to exclude, then click Exclude.
  5. After excluding transactions, you can review the sales receipts and matching deposits under the Added/Matched column in the Reviewed tab.
  6. If you need to undo a transaction added to your books, click Undo under the Action column in the Reviewed tab.

 

I recommend contacting the PayPal support team to investigate the cause of duplicate transactions. They can help you check your app's settings and guide its functionality.

 

For further information, refer to this resource about handling transactions: Use the Connect to PayPal app with QuickBooks Online. It offers valuable insights and detailed instructions.

 

Before we conclude, I want to spotlight our QuickBooks Live service. If you’re managing finances with the PayPal Connector app and need help categorizing transactions related to the account, this service is perfect for ensuring accurate recording of transactions and expenses. Feel free to schedule a free consultation to explore how we can assist you.

 

Additionally, here are a couple of articles that address questions about connecting to PayPal for more guidance:

 

 

I'll be available if you need further help managing your PayPal transactions or have other product concerns. I'd be delighted to answer them. Have a great day!
