I'd gladly help you record your returned ACH payment using the Record Bounced Check option, hfrantz.
To begin with, it is important to note that the Record Bounced Check icon remains available and can still be used in QuickBooks Desktop. You'll need to change the payment method to Check to make this option available when recording your returned ACH payment. Let me guide you through the process.
In this sample, I recorded the payment using the Cash method. Now, let's change this to Check.
