How do i record a wire transfer payment?

You receive payments in QB and group with undeposited funds, next you make deposits. Now if you are using online banking you import your transactions and QB matches the wire transfer with your recorded deposit in QB.

When you enter it in Receive Payments at the bottom of the window is the "Deposit To" section.  Don't deposit it to undeposited funds.  Just deposit it straight to the bank account receiving it (it isn't in funds you will deposit - the deposit will be automatic).

How do i record a wire transfer payment?

But, how do I record a wire transfer fee taken from the deposit by my bank? The deposited amount showing on my statement is $25 less than the invoiced amount. The fee they have taken is $25.

 

Thank you,

Good evening, @jclairedean. Thanks for reaching out to the Community.

 

We'll need to use a bank deposit to record a wire transfer including the bank fees so you're able to match the amount in QuickBooks with what was cleared in your bank. Here's a step by step process to guide you:

 

Step One: Create a Bank Deposit

  1. Go to the Banking menu, then Make Deposits.
  2. In the Deposit to field, choose the account where you want to deposit the amount.
  3. On the From Account column, click Add new to add an Other Current Liability account.
  4. Click Other Account Types radio button then select Other Current Liability then hit Continue.
  5. Enter the Account Name. (Example: Other Current Liability).
  6. Select Save & Close.
  7. Enter the Deposit amount in the Amount column.
  8. Once done, let's add the bank fee to another line item. Click a new expense line item under the From Account column then hit Add New.
  9. Choose Expense then press Continue.
  10. Enter the name of the expense. (Example: Bank Fee)
  11. Select Save & Close.
  12. On the Amount field, enter a negative amount for the bank fee.

 

Step Two: Balance your account

  1. Go to the Banking tab, then Write Checks.
  2. Enter the Bank Account, Date and the Vendor.
  3. Click the Expenses tab.
  4. In the Account column, add the Other Current Liability.
  5. Enter Deposit amount in the Amount column.
  6. Click Save and Close.

That should get you on the right track. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. Have a great day!

Nice to see you here in this thread, @1sharktooth12. I'd be glad to lay down the specifics of handling a wire transfer out of your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

You can record a check in QBDT for this wire transfer from your account. To guide you further, please follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go to the Banking menu and select Write Checks.
  2. Use the dropdown list in the Bank Account field to specify the account the wire was transferred from.
  3. From the Pay to the Order of section, choose the Payee Name or a vendor or place of purchase.
  4. Use the date when you issue the check in the Date section.
  5. Enter Wire Trans or WT in the NO. field, and enter the check Amount.
  6. Select the Expenses tab.
  7. In the Account drop-down, specify the expense account that tracks the charges, or enter Accounts Payable if the transfer was for a bill.

 

Furthermore, you can visit this article to view how Accounts Payable tracks the money you owe from your vendors: Accounts Payable workflows in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

I'm always here if you need help or assistance with your wire transfers in QBDT.  I’m always glad to help in any way I can. Have a great rest of the day!
