We don't use QB for payroll, we only record the amount paid out in an expense account called Salaries. We have a grant opportunity to be reimbursed for paying an intern from the local high school. How do I deposit this reimbursement income into an expense account?
Hi there, shigby. Thanks for taking the time to explain your concern here.
You can create a bank deposit and select an expense account (Salaries) to offset or use a different category. Before that, I recommend reaching out to your accountant to ensure you have the correct accounting.
Refer to the screenshot below for visual reference:
To learn more about the process, see this article: Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Desktop.

Thanks! I'm still not having success getting the amount into the expense account as a credit. It always shows as a debit. I've never been able to credit a refund or reimbursement back to an expense account, but I'm a QB novice.
Thanks for returning to this thread, shigby. I understand and see how it can be challenging to record it as credit a refund or reimbursement back to an expense account, especially if you're new to QuickBooks.
Since it always shows as debit, I want to ask if the refund is associated with a credit card. If so, we can use a different method to properly handle the situation. Instead of making a deposit, you can enter credit card charges. Here's how you could do it.
If you need more information and guidance on setting up, using, and paying credit card accounts, the article titled Set up, use and pay credit card accounts offer detailed insights and instructions.
Please keep me informed about the progress, and remember that I'm available to assist in recording transactions in QuickBooks. Take care and stay safe.
