I appreciate your return to this thread, SW122. Based on your initial post, it seems that the credit card has already been downloaded into the bank feeds. I'd like to share some insights regarding this matter.

 

If the bank account you use to pay is related to your business, you can connect it to QBO. This helps maintain accurate and detailed accounting records. Once done, you can select it when recording the payment.

 

On the other hand, if it's a personal account you can create an Equity Account to represent ownership, since the equity won't show in Credit card payment from dropdown. After that, you can log the payment as Journal Entry so it accurately reflects in your financial record. Here's how:

 

  1. Click +New and select Journal Entry.
  2. On the first line, select the expense account and enter the amount in the Debits column.
  3. On the second line, select the Equity account that you've created.
  4. Enter the same purchase amount in the Credits column.
  5. Hit Save and close.

 

Once done let's match the journal entry and the downloaded credit card payment. This will link them together so you won't have duplicates.
 


 

Furthermore, I'll add this article to ensure your records match your bank statement and avoid discrepancies or errors: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

The steps above ensure that you can keep your financial transactions organized and accurate. If you need further assistance or have more questions, feel free to ask. We're here to help you every step of the way.
