How do I edit a payment that has already been deposited?

I appreciate your time for visiting us today, gennieosg.

Let me clear your confusion about deleting or editing a deposit in QuickBooks.  To correct the payment or sales receipt you need to temporarily remove it from the deposit, edit it, then add it back to the original deposit. I'll show you how to accomplish the tasks.

To remove the payment or sales receipt:

1. Go to the Accounting menu and select Chart of Accounts.
2. Select View Register for the appropriate account.
3. Locate the deposit with the incorrect payment or sales receipt listed.
4. Click the deposit in the register and click Edit to open it. 
5. Remove the checkmark from the incorrect payment or sales receipt by clicking on it.  This will remove the payment from the deposit.
6. Click Save and Click Yes.

To edit the payment:

1. Click on the deposit from the register, this will open the Deposit screen.
2. Click the Name on the unchecked payment and it will take you to the Receive Payment or Sales Receipt screen where you can now make the correction.
3. After you make the correction, click Save.
4. Click Yes.

Once done, you can now redeposit the corrected amount. 

Using the steps above, you're now able to edit the payment that is part of a deposit.
