Business Overdraft Protection Loan Advances (+) Payments (-) QBO

Our Huntington Bank transferred $2,429.64 and $287.32 in Loan Advances into our business checking account.  There was also an Interest Charge for $4.04.  A few days later they withdrew (bank automatically took back the amount they gave us to cover the charges) the amount due  (Checking Reserve Payment)  from our Debit (-) account.  I set up two separate bank accounts in our Chart of Accounts. One is named Checking Reserve Advance and the other is Checking Reserve Payment. I transferred the two Loan Advances to the Checking Reserve Advance account in our Chart of Accounts then transferred the payment to the Checking Reserve Payment to the account. I am not sure which account to use to deduct the Interest Charge.  The Checking Reserve Advance account shows the amount received as a deposit into our business checking. The Checking Reserve Payment account shows the payment going into our business checking? It also has the balance in red.  I'm clueless as to why they are coming from the business checking and being paid from our business checking. The bank loaned us the money and we pay back through the debit in our business checking. Yikes!

 

The problem I have now is these transactions happened in April and I reconciled our account back then. In August I received another Checking Reserve Advance and Payment. I am not entering this one until I know I'm doing it correctly.  We've only had these two overdrafts and I desperately need your help walking me through the steps.  You are truly appreciated!!!!!!!

It appears that you have set up two bank accounts in the Chart of Accounts. However, it seems that you have only created one bank account with Huntington Bank. As a result, both your deposits and payments are being processed through a single account.

Do you have a suggestion on what I should or can do to resolve this problem since it has been reconciled.  Also, how I can correctly set up for our most recent Checking Reserve Advance and Payment

 

Again, thank you for your patience and help with this crazy mess I got myself into!!!!  I really appreciate it!

Regarding the reconciliation, I'm unsure how you accomplished that, considering there is only one bank account instead of two. I suggest undoing the reconciliation, consolidating all the transactions into a single bank account, and then reconciling it again. The other account can be marked as inactive. Doing this will prepare you for the most recent checking reserve advance and payment, as both transactions will occur within the same account.

Just to be clear, regarding our most recent overdraft, I will create a new account in the chart of accounts. I will transfer from our online banking both the advance and payment into this one account.  Will the advance be a transfer into our business checking and the payment be an expense?  Thanks again!  You've been so helpful!

No, you are not adding to your Chart of Accounts. Is your Huntington Bank account linked to the bank feed? Or are you manually entering these transactions?

Huntington deposited the advance into our account and then a day or so later took it with the interest as payment automatically.  I did not manually do that.  I did set up the chart of accounts which I realize now was a mistake.

I really appreciate how much you have been helping me work through this.  I just wanted to make sure you saw my last question and I responded with the information you needed.  I'm a little nervous starting the process since I've reconciled all the months up until August. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!
