What’s covered in this Month’s QuickTips™-Tracking PayPal in QuickBooks:
- My staff tells me that I wasn’t very funny in this QuickTip™….I’m not sure why. Perhaps I’ve been down lately. I will discuss this with my therapist and get back to you next month.
- The bottom line to understanding how to track PayPal in QuickBooks lies in the fact that your PayPal account is a BANK ACCOUNT, just like any other bank account and should be set up as a bank account in QuickBooks.
- Rather than waiting to record activity until you transfer money into the checking account, transactions should be entered as they occur in the PayPal account.
- All the same screens used for entering activity in the checking account can also be used to record PayPal transactions.
- The balance in the PayPal account will now be shown on the Balance Sheet along with your other bank account balances.
- Use the Transfer Funds window in QuickBooks to record the transfer of money from the PayPal account to your checking account.
- You can even reconcile the PayPal Account.
