Can anyone help me with recording credit card payments? Connected to CC acct & bank account & need to understand how this works when I write a check from bank to pay CC.

Hello there, kalen-henderson,

I'm here to help ensure your credit card payment isn't recorded twice in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

If you record the check in QBO, you'll want to open it and change the posting account to Accounts Payable. This way, you'll be able to link the check to your bill and pay it. See the attached screenshot below for your visual guide.

To link these two transactions:

1. Open the bill, then click Make payment.
2. Mark the bill under Outstanding Transactions and the Check under Credits.
   
3. Click Save and close.
4. After that, you can exclude the CC payment on your Banking page so it won't keep showing up.

On the other hand, you can match the CC payment to the bill if you haven't manually written a check in QuickBooks. This will also record one entry on your register.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help you today. I'm always around here in the Intuit Community to help.

What if you're making credit card payments by transferring funds from a business bank account into the business credit card and it is being recorded twice?  First for the time the credit card is used for the purchases, and second for the time the bill is paid. I make online bill payments of the business card from the business checking account. I guess I need a step by step approach to how to record the credit card payments under a sub account or something so it doesn't show the expense happening twice.

Thanks for your time checking in with us, @hastingsartscenter,
