I wrote a customer refund check, but we only use QB for bookkeeping. How do I record the refund if I'm not having QB actually write the check.

I’m here to help you record this customer refund in QuickBooks, @ledoffice.

 

Thanks for reaching out to the Community. QuickBooks  Desktop makes it easy to give money back or credit to your customers.

 

To enter a refund in the program, you’ll want to create a credit memo then choose Give a refund. As this is how to handle the said credit. Here’s how:

 

  1. Go to the Customers menu, then select Create Credit Memos/Refunds.
  2. From the Customer:Job drop-down, select your customer.
  3. Enter the items you're giving a credit for, then select Save & Close.
  4. In the Available Credit window, choose Give a refund.
  5. Enter the necessary information, then press OK.

You might want to visit this article about recording refunds received from a vendor in QBDT. It has recommended steps depends on the scenario.
