I need to report Interest Earned on a Mortgage Escrow. I have no account set up as interest earned AND the Escrow was set up as an Expense account. Maybe the Escrow account was set up incorrectly to begin with as I see no way to track how much is being held by the mortgage company in escrow ...Is that normal ?
The Escrow Account Type is "Expenses" and Detail Type is "Unapplied Cash Bill Payment" (*I am attaching a screenshot).
I also wanted to attach screenshot of how a mortgage payment is normally entered so you have a full picture in order to advise, but it appears only one can be uploaded.

Good day to you, @smbeck.
I appreciate you for taking the time in sharing your issue with us. I'd like to help and get this sorted out right away. Thus, I’d recommend consulting with your accountant for further guidance in setting up your Mortgage account. This way, we can ensure your accounts are properly recorded.
Your accountant can advise you on which account to use and how much to be held by your mortgage company. If you’re not affiliated with one, you can visit our ProAdvisor page and look for one from there.
Moreover, you might also want to check this article for reference in setting up your mortgage account. Though the steps are designed for QuickBooks Desktop, the process of this applies to QuickBooks Online (QBO): Set up a mortgage.
