Reversing a payment on an invoice

Good day, @Sunismine!

I can help you reverse the payment for the invoice marked as paid. All you have to do is delete the payment transaction.

I'll show you how:

1. Click Sales.
2. Choose the Customer tab.
3. Click the customer name.
4. You'll be prompted to the list of transactions under his/her name.
5. Click to open the payment transaction (see screenshot).
6. At the bottom, click More and choose Delete.
7. Choose Yes.

For additional reference about invoices and payments, you can check these articles: 

• How To Create An Invoice
• Record customer payment in QuickBooks Online. 

That will automatically change the status of the invoice to Open (or unpaid). Don't hesitate to add a comment if you have follow up questions. Have a lovely weekend!

Thank you for joining the thread, @William E.

I'm here to help ensure you'll be able to reverse an invoice payment in QuickBooks today. First, I would like to know what QuickBooks version are you using. This way, I can gather enough details and give you the correct instructions.

You can locate the Sales tab as instructed by HoneyLynn_G above once you'll open QuickBooks Online (QBO) via a web browser.

If you're using an android app, you can follow these steps:

1. Log in to your QBO account, then click on the three horizontal lines (hamburger icon) from the homepage.
2. Tap on Customers.
3. Select the customer's name, then locate the payment you want to remove.
4. Open the payment and click on the three horizontal dots at the upper-right side.
5. Hit Delete, then select Delete again to confirm the action.

On the other hand, if you're using QuickBooks Desktop, here's how to delete the payment transaction:

1. Locate the payment from your customer's profile, then click it to open.
2. Select Delete, then OK.
