Transferred $XX between bank accounts on 12/31/2025. The sending bank shows 12/31/2025, but the receiving bank shows 1/2/2026. How should this be recorded in QuickBooks?

Hello there, Shivaniiitbhf.

Record the transfer in QuickBooks Online by selecting + Create > Transfer and using 12/31/2025 as the transaction date, since that’s when the funds left your account. QuickBooks will apply this same date to both the sending and receiving banks. Only one transfer record and date are used, even if the receiving bank shows the deposit on a later date like 1/2/2026.

Once you've created the transfer, you can move to the Bank transactions page to match the transaction with the bank feeds from both accounts. QuickBooks will automatically identify the transfer for you to match, ensuring your records align with your bank statements.

If you are considering other workarounds to reflect the actual dates on both sides of the transfer (e.g., 12/31/2025 for the money out and 1/2/2026 for the money in), it's recommended to contact your accountant. They can help you determine the best practice based on your business reporting needs.
