How to Record Bank Deposits in QuickBooks Online

QuickBooks doesn’t automatically know the details of deposits you make at your bank. Like, which payments were included. Or, if there were any fees incurred. 

To make sure everything gets recorded correctly you enter the deposit and then match it in the bank feed when it downloads from your bank.

You only need to use this method when recording a bank deposit that covers multiple payments. 

Note: Before recording your deposit make sure that ALL payments within the deposit have been added to QuickBooks. Also, the payments must be deposited to the Undeposited funds account

Quick Instructions:

  1. Receive all payments included in the deposit to Undeposited Funds
  2. Click the +New button
  3. Under OTHER click Bank deposit
  4. Select the account the deposit is made to
  5. Enter the date of the deposit
  6. Under Select the payments included in this deposit check off all that apply
  7. If needed, add additional funds or fees to Add funds to this deposit
  8. If needed, enter cash back
  9. Double-check the Amount matches your deposit slip
  10. Click Save and close
