How do you add a refund check from a vendor?

You can record the refund as a bank deposit, Janna1122.

Since there is no outstanding invoice to apply the refund check from the vendor, you can record it as a bank deposit.

Here’s how to record the refund as a bank deposit:

1. Go to +Create and select Bank Deposit.
2. Select the Account where the refund should be recorded.
   
3. In the RECEIVE FROM field, choose the vendor (e.g., Franchise Tax Board).
4. Select the appropriate category in the ACCOUNT field.
5. Optionally, enter a Description (e.g., FTB refund).
6. In the PAYMENT METHOD field, select Check.
7. Enter the AMOUNT.
8. Click Save and close.

If the bank account where the refund was received is connected to QuickBooks, the transaction will be automatically downloaded. Once the refund transaction appears in QuickBooks, you can match it to the recorded bank deposit.

Here's how:

1. Go to Accounting and select Bank Transactions.
2. Locate the refund transaction.
   
3. Click Match.

This method records the refund without applying it to an invoice.
