A client e-transfered $100 to the company. $50 for the service and 50.00 as a tip. If the eTransfer was 100.00 how can you seperate the revenue from the tip?

Hi there, 

Tipping for a job well done is an awesome way to show appreciation for your vendors. QuickBooks Online helps you record all types of transactions, and it's important that you're able to split your transaction into two different accounts if need be. 

First, you'll want to create an expense account for your tips. You can do this by clicking the Accounting tab on the left navigation menu, then select Chart of Accounts > Add New. 

I'd recommend consulting with your accountant if you're not sure what type of account to create. If you're not already connected to an accountant, you can find one in your area here: Find a ProAdvisor. 

The next step will be to split your transaction between your expense account for your purchase, and your new Tips account.

When you enter a transaction into the account history, only one account can be associated with it. But if you need to list multiple accounts, here’s how.

Record multiple accounts in a transaction

Note: If you didn’t enter the transaction yet, it’s best to open the Invoice, Bill, etc. and associate multiple accounts.

1. Go to Accounting and select Chart of Accounts.
2. Find the account for the transaction.
3. Under the Action column, select Account history.
4. Select the transaction, then select Edit. The entry screen for that particular transaction opens.
5. Enter the other accounts to add with the amount. Note: The amounts for each account should add up to the total amount of the transaction.
6. Select Save. The transaction now displays Split in account column.

I hope this helps get you back on track. If you need any further assistance, please reach out to our tech support team.
