Hello there, kay-srg.

 

When recording a wire transfer, the deposited transaction will show up in the Journal report. 

 

If this wire transfer is for bank fees, you'll be entering it as negative in the Bank Deposit feature. This is also how it works when the money will be transferred into your account.

 

I recommend checking this article for additional details: Record a wire transfer depends on the purpose of the wire transfer. This includes information on how you should record the wire transfer, depending on your situation.

 

If you want to clear negative entries from Undeposited Funds and the Bank Deposit screen, you can create a journal entry to offset. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the +New button.
  2. Under Other, select Journal Entry.
  3. Enter the transaction date in the Journal date field.
  4. On the first line, in the Account column, select the Undeposited Funds account.
  5. In the Debit column, enter the single line deposit amount.
  6. On the second line, in the Account column, select the bank account.
  7. In the Credit column, re-enter the single line deposit amount (if it does not already appear).
  8. Then, Save.

 

Once done, go back to the Bank Deposit section. Make sure you select the payment and the Journal Entry you created. The total should appear as zero. Afterward, you can then save it.

 

Also, you can customize QuickBooks reports to easily review the transactions you need. Check these articles for more guides:

I entered the numbers as positive numbers, hope that was correct. It did take the amount back to zero.  Now that negitive amount is in my QB total but not in bank. I tried to deposit in the bank deposit area, went into + New went to Other, then Deposit. I put in the acct  as our Bank, date of the transaction from the bank, then I clicked Add funds. Is this where  I would ented the amount that I just zeroed out on the Journal? When I entered the Journal to zero for this deposit it doesnt appear to change the bank balance but it did change my QB balance the negitive ishows up the the total. So my QB total is negitive and the amount of the deposit. How do I fix this part?

I appreciate you for getting back to us, kay-srg.

 

Upon creating a bank deposit, let's ensure to leave the Add funds to this deposit field as blank. If the balances is still off, I'd recommend reaching out to your accountant so you'll be guided accordingly on how we can record the amount.

 

Feel free to check this reference for more information about recording wire transfer: How to record a wire transfer.

 

I'm just a post-away if there's anything that I can help. Keep safe!
