I'll share an insight on your customer refunds and how to record them in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) company.
You can create a credit note to record an invoice refund if invoice has been paid. Here's how:
Select + New and select Credit note.
In the Customer field, select the appropriate customer.
Enter the Credit Note Date, Amount, VAT, and Product/Service (This is the category, product, or service you’re getting a credit for).
Select Saveand close.
However, if it is a service that was canceled, you won't have to enter a credit note. We can use the refund receipt instead. You can follow these steps:
Tap the New menu in the upper left and select Refund Receipt under Customers.
Click the Customer drop-down to enter the customer you’re working on.
In the Refund From drop-down, pick the bank you deposited the payment for the invoice.
Add service in the Product/Service column and then the amount.
