Hi there, pworthyservices.

Aside from using the Record Bounced Check option, there's another option to track bounced checks in QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how:

1. Create an item and income account for tracking bounced checks and their associates charges.
   1. Create an income account using these details:
      • Type: Income Account
      • Account Name: Bounced Checks Income
   2. Create Bad Check Charge item:
   3. Type: Other Charge
      • Item Name: Bad Check Charge
      • Amount or %: Leave it at 0.00
      • Tax Code: Non-taxable
      • Account: Select Bounced Checks Income (created in step a).
2. Create a journal entry to reverse the original payment.
   1. Go to the Company menu, then select Make General Journal Entries.
   2. Debit your account receivables for the same amount of the bounced check.
   3. Enter a note in the Memo column describing the transaction.
   4. Under the Name column, select the name of the customer.
   5. Credit the checking or bank account that received the original deposit.
   6. Select Save & Close.

Once done, switch the payment for the invoice to the reversing journal entry.

1. Go to the Reports menu, select Customers Receivables, and then click Customer Balance Detail.
2. Double-click the original payment line for the bounced check.
3. In the Receive Payments window, move the check mark from the invoice to the reversing journal entry.
4. Select Save & Close.
