Hi there, tom. I've got the steps you can follow to record your bank charges in QuickBooks Online.
Please know that some financial institutions include processing fees. Thus, I recommend not adjusting the original transaction within QBO. Instead, add these charges while you're on the bank deposit window. If this is your case, here are some steps you can follow.
- Go to the + New.
- Under Other, select bank deposit.
- Add the necessary information.
- Scroll down to find the Add funds to this deposit, then enter a charge in the line item.
- Choose who gave these fees.
- In the Account dropdown, pick Bank Charges.
- Once done, write the amount as a negative number. Review the deposit total along with its fee.
- Click Save and close.
On the other hand, if your account doesn't have a bank charge account, we can create one. To do so, here's how:
- On your Bank deposit page, go to Add funds to this deposit.
- Click the Account dropdown, then select + Add new.
- A window pop-up will show. Once there, choose Expenses in the Account Type and Bank Charges in the Detail Type.
- Add a name you can easily remember, such as "Bank Fees."
