Received an AT&T rewards debit card

Hello friends. 2019 QB Premier Nonprofit edition, for desktop.

 

Our small nonprofit recently signed up and are paying for fiber internet with AT&T. We subsequently received a "Reward" debit card from AT&T for $125. The card cannot be used at ATMs or for cash back, nor refilled, so I will have to use it for expenses until depleted.

 

I am unsure how to set this up in QB.  As a credit card? How do I add the $125 to the account so that it reflects that this is cash back from my Internet expense account?

 

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

You can set up a Cash Back Rewards account to track and record the cash back reward you receive from your vendor, Solar. I'll walk you through the detailed process to ensure you're on the right track.

 

In QuickBooks Desktop, you'll utilize a Cash Back Rewards account to keep track of your cash back reward until depleted. You can proceed to these steps to add an account to your chart of accounts if you don't have one yet:

 

  1. Head to the List at the top.
  2. Select Chart of Accounts and pick New from the Account drop-down.
  3. You can choose Bank as an account type, then hit Continue. However, I recommend seeking advice from your accountant if you're unsure about the appropriate account type.
  4. Key in an Account Name and provide other details from the remaining fields.
  5. Click the Enter Opening Balance... tab, enter the amount in the Statement Ending Balance field, and specify the date in the Statement Ending Date.
  6. Click Save & Close.

Once you're ready to use your cash back reward, you can create an expense affecting the account you've just created.

 

On the other hand, ensure to reconcile your accounts regularly to keep them balanced for accurate reporting and tax calculation. You can refer to this material for guidance, including resolving errors during the process: Learn the reconcile workflow in QuickBooks.
