I appreciate you for sharing details of your concern with us, @Southerncharmhc.
I can impart some insights on how to record the refund you received from the US Treasury in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). You can record a bank deposit to account for the refund. I'll be glad to guide you how:
- Go to the Banking menu and select Make Deposits.
- Click OK in the Payments to Deposit window to close it.
- From the RECEIVED FROM drop-down column, select who provided the refund.
- Select Accounts Payable A/P under the FROM ACCOUNT column.
- Enter a description from the MEMO column about the refund and enter the amount from the AMOUNT column.
- Repeat the same process for the National Paid Leave, Medicare, and Interest.
- Once done click Save & Close.
