Check made out to owner, not business name

Hi, @Illes. I'll provide a way to record the check payment and mark the invoice as paid without writing personal checks to your business name.

Aside from depositing checks into your checking account, you can also enter the data manually by using the write checks feature. Just make sure to put the correct amount and date, then link it to the invoice.

Here's how:

1. Open the invoice and click the Receive Payments.
2. On the Customer Payment window, select the Check.
3. Tap Save & Close to update the invoice status into Paid.

I'm adding some screenshots for reference:

In terms of selecting an account, I recommend contacting an accountant. They can guide in adding the transactions under the owner's equity.

See this article to learn what more you can do with Checks: Create, modify, and print checks.

In case you need to combine payments from the UF account, refer to this link: Deposit payments into the Undeposited Funds account in QuickBooks Online.

Please let me know if you have follow-up questions about your receivables. I'm always ready to help you. Take care.

Thanks Jamaica...

I am not clear on the writing checks part of your response. My QB desktop only has one business checking account, not connected to the bank, no other is available. Writing out a business check to myself would recorded as owner's equity in QB, correct? If it is, I'd need to write out a business check to my name and deposit it to my personal account.

Certainly, I will disccuss creating a "owner's equity" transaction that presumably will bypass checks.
