How should deposits be accounted for in QuickBooks?
In general, deposits should be recorded as income. However, if the deposit is for a future service or product, it may be classified as a liability. For example, if you receive a deposit for work that will not be performed until next month, you would record the deposit as a liability. This ensures that the income is not recognized until the work is actually performed.
How do I make a deposit in QuickBooks online without an invoice?
If you're making a deposit for something other than an invoice, such as a customer refund, you can do so by creating a "Deposit Only" form.
To do this, simply go to the "+" sign at the top of your QuickBooks Online page and select "Deposit Only." From there, you'll be able to enter all the relevant details about the deposit.
When would you use a deposit transaction in QuickBooks online?
There are a few different situations when you might use a deposit transaction in Quickbooks Online.
For example, if you're making a down payment on an item for your business, you would record the deposit as a liability. This ensures that the income is not recognized until the work is actually performed.
Another situation where you might use a deposit transaction is if you're making a refund to a customer. In this case, you would create a "Deposit Only" form in QuickBooks Online and enter all the relevant details about the refund.
Finally, if you receive payments from customers before shipping them their products or services, you can also record these as deposits. This way, you can keep track of how much money you're owed and make sure that you don't ship anything until the balance is paid in full.
