During a closing, I receive a check for the net amount of my commission and then deposit the check as Income in my account. I recently gave a client a commission rebate and this was taken from my gross commission. My broker said I still need to account for the commission rebate as it's part of the gross commission and will be reported on my 1099. How do I account for the rebate commission? If I create a JE with credit to Commission Rebate and debit to RE Commission, it decreases the amount I have netted. How do I account for the amount I did not receive via a check? Should I record the RE commission I receive in a different way as opposed to a direct deposit to my account? My statements still need to reconcile at the end of the month. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
One way is to create a service item for the rebate linked to a rebate expense account
then on the sales receipt where you record the receipt of the commission
line one: your commission item and the full amount
line two: the rebate item and the amount as a negative number
save and deposit the funds to the bank, then download banking and match
Does this mean I set my broker up as a Customer to be able to create a sales receipt?
Yes, customers pay you, you pay vendors
You can certainly create a sales receipt but, IMO, an easier option is to create a journal entry:
Debit | Credit | |
Cash (Deposit) | XXX | |
Rebate Expense (credit to client) | XXX | |
Commission income | XXX |
