How do I make a miscellaneous deposit? It's a reward check from a vendor, not a refund on a purchase. Just a misc deposit

Hi, Growingreenjh.
I'm here to help with marking this deposit. One option is to do a Journal Entry. With a Journal Entry, you can transfer money between income and expense accounts or transfer money from an asset, liability, or equity account to an income or expense account. We have a guide on creating Journal Entries and when its necessary to do so. If you have any questions, I'm here to help.

What is the other way?

Happy to share the other way to record a vendor miscellaneous deposit in QuickBooks, Annoyed CPA.

I'll make sure you record this in your account in a seamless way and personalize it for that transaction. 

Let's create a chart of accounts specific for that deposit to classify them in QuickBooks. Doing so will keep your books accurate at all times. Follow these steps:

1. Go to the Accounting tab and choose Chart of Accounts. 
2. Click the New button. 
3. Choose Other Income as your Account Type. 
4. In the Detail Type, pick Other Miscellaneous Income. 
5. Enter a unique name in the box. 
6. Hit Save and close. 

After that, let's record the fund by depositing it to the account you previously created. Proceed as follows:

1. Go to the New icon and select Bank deposit. 
2. Choose the account you want to put the money into in the Account dropdown.
3. Pick the miscellaneous account in the Category section and complete the other fields. 
4. Click Save and close.

But all the same, I'd recommend consulting an accountant to guide you in choosing the most suitable account for your business. 

In addition, you can always run the miscellaneous quick report by going to the Chart of accounts. See the sample screenshot for your guidance:
