I have bank accounts linked to auto update/ import into Quickbooks. However, the 'ref no type' keeps labeling them as 'check', even tho its a debit or credit card expense. Shouldn't it be labeled as 'expense'? Thanks!

Thank you for jumping into this forum again, Lisa. We recognize that adding the option to record reference numbers for debit or credit card expenses would be a great way to track these transactions seamlessly.

 

The Check No. field option in the banking page for downloaded entries in QuickBooks Online is for transactions made by check. While a field designed for debit or credit card expense reference numbers is currently unavailable, I recommend sending feedback directly to our product engineers. These will be gathered to assess its functionality and might be considered when working with future product updates.

 

Here's how:

Also, it's worth noting that you can use bank rules to categorize your income and expenses automatically. Aside from saving you time, it helps keep your record accurate for precise reporting and tax calculation.
