I'm here to help you resolve this, @LostInAccounting.
I want to ensure this is taken care of, but before I do, may I know how you record the refund? Any information could help us determine the cause of the issue.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can use refund receipts if a customer asks for a refund for an item or service.
Here's how:
1. Go to the +New button.
2. Under Customers, select Refund receipt.
3. Choose the customer you want to refund from the drop-down arrow.
4. Click the Refund From drop-down arrow, then choose the bank you deposited the payment for the invoice to.
5. Select the Product/Service you're refunding and enter its corresponding amount. You can enter negative amounts for any charges.
6. Hit Save and close.
However, if your customer uses a credit card, check out this link for the steps: Void or refund customer payments.
