Accidentally deposited personal check with business checks into business account

Hello there, @llp7.

I'm glad to see you dropping here in the Community. I can help you handle the deposit in QuickBooks Online.

The ability to exclude a portion of a deposit is unavailable. You'll need to exclude the entire deposit and enter the transaction manually.

In case you need the steps to exclude, here's how:

1. On the left navigation bar, click Banking.
2. Go to the Banking tab.
3. Select the account.
4. Go to the For review tab.
5. Put a checkmark on the transaction.
6. Hit Exclude.

Once done, you can proceed with entering a bank deposit. The steps are simple and easy to follow. For the detailed instructions, check out this link: Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Online.

There are times that transactions will not download automatically for the linked bank accounts. If you want to upload your bank data manually in the future, you can follow the steps in this article: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.

Please let me know if you need anything else regarding the downloaded bank deposits. The Community and I will be here to help you. Have a great day.

Resolved - Thank you very much!

I did this with one check. I deposited a personal check into the business account. If I exclude it, and then write myself a check to replace the personal deposit, what will I need to do to balance everything? Is there a better way for one check? Thanks!

Hi there, Beth-.

I know another way how you can record this on a single check.

You can create either Check or Expense transaction to keep track of the reimbursement. Let me guide you with these steps:

Before doing any of the steps, I'd suggest reaching out to your accountant so you'll be guided on the best account to use.

To start with, record the business expense you paid for with personal funds:

1. From the + New button, select Journal Entry.
2. On the first line, select the expense account for the purchase.
3. Enter the purchase amount in the Debits column.
4. On the second line, select Partner's equity or Owner's equity.
5. Enter the same purchase amount in the Credits column.
6. Click Save and close.

Then, create either a Check or Expense transaction. Here's how:

1. From the + New button, select Check or Expense.
2. Select a bank account to use to reimburse the personal funds.
3. In the Category column, select Partner's equity or Owner's equity.
4. Enter the amount of the reimbursement.
5. Select Save and close.
