Hello datameister,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community. I'm here to assist you regarding the fees of the customer payment in QuickBooks Desktop.
You can deduct the fees after recording the final payment of the customer for the rental property. If a customer makes a deferred payment, you can record the transaction using Invoice and Receive Payment.
If there are no changes to the default deposit account, payments will be showing directly into the Undeposited Funds account. Once you've recorded the final payment, the next thing to do is make a deposit and add the fees.
Here's how:
- Click the Banking tab at the top menu.
- Select Make Deposits.
- On the popup window, add the partial and final payment.
- If there's no popup window, click Payments beside Print and History.
- In the Payments to Deposit screen, add the payments.
- Click OK.
- In the From Account column, add the fees (you can create the account as Expense).
- Click Save & Close.
For your visual reference, I'm adding the screenshots I recommend on this:

Should I use an Invoice or a Sales Receipt?.
I look forward to serving you to the best of my ability, so please let me know if I can be of any assistance. I'll be sure to get back to you.
