How do i enter a bounced check that was deposited and returned. The check was our check from one acct to another, NOT a vendor or customer?

Hi @donnac2,

You can record a bounced check by creating a journal entry and a bill payment check.

Let's start by entering the journal entry:

1. Go to the Company menu, select Make General Journal Entries.
2. Ensure that the Date and Entry No are correct.
3. Debit the checking account for the amount of the NSF check.
4. Credit the A/P account for the amount of the NSF check.
5. Enter the name of the other account the check was addressed to.
6. (Optional) Enter memos and classes.
7. Select Save & Close.

Un-link the bill from the payment check and link it to the journal entry. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the original bill payment check.
2. Uncheck the bill(s) originally paid by the bill payment check.
3. Check the Journal Entry created in Step 1.
4. Enter a Memo to indicate the check was returned for NSF.
5. Select Save & Close.

Since the previous bill payment check was no longer linked, you'll have to create a new bill payment check:

1. From the Vendors menu, select Pay Bills.
2. Select the bill(s) originally paid by the NSF bill payment check and the bill for overdraft charges (if applicable).
3. Complete all other required information.
4. Select Pay Selected Bills.

In case you need to record bounced checks from your customers, follow the steps in this article: Handle Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) or bounced check from customers.
