What Happens If I Delete a Deposit in Quickbooks
If you’re like most business owners, you probably have a love-hate relationship with QuickBooks. On one hand, it’s an incredibly powerful tool that can help you manage your finances and save time on bookkeeping. On the other hand, it can be confusing and frustrating to use, especially if you’re not an accountant.
One of the most common questions we get from QuickBooks users is “What happens if I delete a deposit?” The short answer is: it depends.
If the deposit was never entered into your bank account (i.e., it was created in QuickBooks but never deposited), then deleting it will have no effect on your bank account or financial statements.
However, if the deposit was entered into your bank account and then later deleted in QuickBooks, there could be some consequences.
For example, let’s say you made a $1,000 deposit into your checking account on January 1st. You then went into QuickBooks and recorded that deposit by creating a new transaction.
A few days later, you realized that you had actually deposited $1,500 into the account, so you went back into QuickBooks and edited the transaction to reflect the correct amount. Finally, on January 31st (after your monthly bank statement had been reconciled), you decided to delete the entire transaction because it was no longer needed.
In this scenario, deleting the transaction would cause two problems:
1) Your QuickBooks records would no longer match your bank statement. This could create problems when reconciling your accounts at month-end or preparing financial statements for investors or lenders.
2) If you ever needed to look back at that particular period of time (say for tax purposes), there would be a discrepancy between what actually happened and what was reported in QuickBooks.
This could create headaches for both you and your accountant come tax time!
Conclusion
If you need to delete a deposit in Quickbooks, there are a few steps you need to follow. First, open up the deposit screen and find the deposit you want to delete. Next, click on the “Edit” button and then select “Delete.”
