Thanks for joining the thread, @Melissa Dalziel.
Let me share some information about recording bank fees for stop payment and voiding a check in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
First, there isn't a button for recording the bank fees for the stop payment. You'll have to manually create an expense account for this. Here's how:
- Go to Lists at the top menu, then choose Chart of Accounts.
- Pick the Account drop-down at the bottom, then choose New to create a new account.
- Select Expense as the account type, then click Continue.
- Enter the account details such as the Account Name.
a.Choose the Sub account of checkbox if it's a child account.
b.From the drop-down, choose the parent account. - Hit Save & Close.
Please refer to this article for more details about the steps above or in case you'll want to edit or delete this expense account: How to add and expense account?.
Also, voiding a check will zero out its amount so it will have an effect on the balances of the previous financial period. Moreover, there's no other way to void a check without having to re-open the books since there has been a change made for the check's amount.
Furthermore, there are times that you'll need to void the check even if the bill was recorded as paid due to some issues like it wasn't received by the vendor. You can refer to this article for more details about it: How to void bill payment check in QBDT?.
As always, you can get back here in the Community if you have more questions about voiding your checks and managing your bank fees. I'm here to help you. Stay safe and have a nice day, @Melissa Dalziel.
