Where is the best place to log travel expenses in quick books desktop Premier Plus 2022 addition?

Let me welcome you to the growing family of QuickBooks, @Amie1290. I'm here to provide some ideas about recording travel expenses in QuickBooks Desktop.

Creating expenses in the desktop version of QuickBooks is unavailable. Alternatively, we can write a check. But before doing this, let's set up a Travel expense account that we can use as soon as we create a check. You can also consult an accountant to help if you're not sure what account to use.

Here's how to set up an account: 

1. Proceed to the Lists menu, then choose Chart of Accounts.
2. From the Account ▼dropdown, click New.
3. Select an account type, then select Continue.
4. Complete the account details.
5. Once done, click Save & Close.

Then, you can start creating a check for travel expenses. 

1. Choose Banking menu and click Write Checks.
2. Select the appropriate Bank Account.
3. Click a Payee in the Pay to the Order Of field.
4. Filter the Date and Check No.
5. Proceed to the Expense tab, select the Expense Account, and enter the amount.
6. Click Save and close.

I'm also adding this article for more information: Create, modify, and print checks. This will give you instructions on how to void a check as well as a link to a guaranteed check that is compatible with QuickBooks Desktop.

Feel free to leave a comment below if you have further concern about recording travel expenses in QuickBooks Desktop. I'll be happy to lend a helping hand. Stay safe!

Probably by using the type of transaction you use to pay for those expenses in the real world.

For example, if they're being charged on a company credit card, then as you record those charges the expenses will accumulate.  Or, if you're writing checks on the trip (but who does that anymore?) then the same thing will happen.

If, on the other hand employees are incurring travel expenses and then turning in expense reports for reimbursement, then enter the details of the expense report on the payment to the employee, which will probably be a check.
