Payments made to company business credit cards

Just recently temporarily taken over the QBs job.    Using QBs DesktopPro 2021 (i know it is about to go EOL)

 

When I do Bank Feeds and I get a transactions list.  Most match up automatically to Payee and Account.  

 

The credit card payments that we make:   1) is the Payee the credit card name (say Bank 1)  and the 2) account is what?  I would think it is a liability account but that is not in the drop down list.

 

Thanks!

Payments made to company business credit cards

Hello there, Dholley. Let me share how the payments made to a credit card account are entered and recorded to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

It's accurate that the payee is your credit card company or the issuing bank. It's the default account to which your payments are designated since it's where the transaction took place.

 

Meanwhile, to appropriately categorize the transaction to QuickBooks, please choose an expense account that you use for credit card (CC) payments.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. On the Banking menu, choose the Bank Feeds. Then, click Bank Feeds Center.
  2. Choose the credit card account. Then, on the Payee ▼ dropdown, select the credit card company.
  3. On the Account ▼ dropdown, choose an expense account that your company uses for CC payments.
  4. Make sure to tick the box icon beside the transaction. Then, click the dropdown arrow ▼ beside Batch Actions.
  5. Hit Add/Approve. After that, confirm the categorization by clicking Yes.

 

However, I would recommend reaching out to your accountant for additional advice on this matter.

 

Also, I'll add this article that can help you track and manage your financial reports in QBDT: Financial reports - QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Please reply to this thread if you have additional queries regarding your transactions in QuickBooks. We'll be in touch.

Thank you for that information.

I understand the Payee is the credit card company name.  In the Account dropdown I do not have the credit card company name.  Actually, i do not see any account type that is deals with a credit cards (meaning our payment to the credit card company).

 

Thanks for the great answers.
