Record a deposited check that bounced

1. Go to Banking > Chart of Accounts and find the bank account the check was originally deposited to. Click the account to open it.

2. Select the transaction that originally deposited the check. Click Edit > Void Deposit.

3. In the Void Deposit window, select the correct date and add a note like "Returned NSF". Click OK.

4. Go to Banking > Enter Bank Charges/Credits, select the bank account, and enter the returned check fee as a bank charge.

1. Go to Banking > Write Checks and find the transaction for the check. Click Edit.

2. Mark the check as returned by checking the "Is this check returned (NSF)?" box.

3. Enter the returned check fee amount as a bank charge.

4. Click OK to record the returned check transaction.

Now the bounced check and fee will be properly recorded in your QuickBooks accounts.
