We pay most of our bills online through our bank. How can I enter those already paid bills into QB?

I'll be here to help you record you expenses that are already paid, office124. 

If the bank you're using in paying the bills is connected to QBO, you can add them directly from your Banking page. They'll show as expenses in your bank's register. You can also manually enter them as either a Check or Expense. 

We can use a Check as an example:

1. Go to the ( + ) New button.
2. Select Check. 
3. Select the Payee and specify the Bank Account where the money will be withdrawn. 
4. Fill out the rest of the information.
5. If you want to print it, click Print or Preview. 
6. Click Save and close.

Let me know if there's anything else that you need help with. 

If the bills are being paid through the bank, would the CHECK feature work, since no check is being sent to pay the bill?

For example, I know every month my Internet bill will be a certain amount and charged to my Debit card on a certain date. Do I create the Expense - Payee, Category, Description, Amount, Date, etc, - for that future charge and it will MATCH in the bank feed when it finally posts? Thanks

Good day to you, rh57.

Both the check and expense report a transaction as an expense and a payment simultaneously.

You can create an expense to record the bill you've paid through your bank. QuickBooks will automatically match this payment on your bank feeds.

Let me show you how:

1. Click the + New button, then select Expense.
2. In the Payee field, specify a vendor. 
3. Select the Payment account to credit this expense.
4. Enter the Payment Date and Payment Method.
5. You can enter EFT in Ref no. field.
6. Select the account in the Category field, then enter the amount.
   
7. Click Save and close.

After that, go to the Banking page and match those expenses. The screenshot below will show you how it's done.

I've also added the Download, match, and categorize your bank transactions link for additional information. It includes a quick video tutorial and detailed steps to guide you with the process.

Have a great day ahead!

These are payments that are put on the bank debit card so no bill has ever been created.  I'm wondering if I need to create a bill for each of these transactions or can I just enter the vendor name and add it

Perhaps I didn't word my question correctly.  We order supplies and materials online and pay directly with out bank card.  When this shows in the bank, do I have to go into QB's and create a bill and then create a payment or do I just make sure it is showing the correct vendor and category or can I just accept it??
