Donations not recorded as revenue

Thanks for getting in touch with the Community, Lesa4Thunder. I appreciate your detailed information.

To track funds you've received through donations, you'll want to create a revenue account for them if you haven't yet.

Here's how:
 

1. In the left navigation bar, go to Transactions, then Chart of accounts.
2. Click New and enter the necessary information for your account. Make sure to choose Non-Profit Income as its detail type.
3. You can title this account "Fund donations.".
4. Be sure to save it when you're finished.

Next, you'll need to create a fund donation item:
 

1. Create a non-inventory item.
2. You can call the item "Fund donations.".
3. Make sure to use your revenue account you set up previously.

After creating the item, you can add your donor as a customer and track their donation.

If you have any further questions about recording donations, I'd recommend working with an accounting professional. If you're in need of one, there's an awesome tool on our website called Find a ProAdvisor. All ProAdvisors listed there are QuickBooks-certified and able to provide helpful insights for driving your business's success.

I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have an awesome Tuesday!

The donation is considered revenue.  The legal fee expense will offset the revenue so there is no income.
