What should I do if Customer sent payment to my personal account?

You can categorize the transaction as a transfer if you have added your business and personal accounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @2mylesbbq.

 

To begin with, if the transaction has not been automatically downloaded from both accounts, you can manually enter it by following these steps:

 

  1. Go to the +New button, then click Transfer.
  2. Choose the account the money is coming from in the Transfer Funds From dropdown.
  3. Select the bank account that the money is going to in the Transfer Funds To dropdown.
  4. Enter the amount in the Transfer amount field and edit the Date field.
  5. You can choose to add a description in the Memo field.
  6. Select Save and close.
