Question

Returned Checks when payments are recorded by Sales Receipt

I'm having an issue with accounting for a Returned Mobile Check. I'm trying to account for 3 transactions, the original mobile deposit, returned check, and the manually deposited (resubmitted) check, with out overstating income.

 

I have tried a Refund Receipt, JE and Expense (there wasn't a bank charge). Each version has worked for one of the issues but not both. I can create a Refund Receipt but it doesn't show the client owes anything. I am able to create a JE but I have not  been able to attach it to the original invoice.

I was able to create and match all three bank transactions to a sales receipt or JE but it shows double income if I attach the original to the original bank transaction, the JE or Expense to the Returned Check (-) and a new sales receipt for the final payment. 

I know that this should be simple but for some reason it's got me confused.

Categorize (don't match it to sales receipt 2395) the 2-19-26 mobile check deposit to an income account.  Categorize the 2-24-26 returned payment to the same income account.  Those two will net to $0.  Then, match the 2-27 deposit to sales receipt 2395.
