    To enter Bank Fees/ Service Charges;


    1. From the Company menu, select For Your Accountant then select Make General Journal Entries...
    2. Under the Account field, select the Expense account used for tracking bank charges (e.g. Bank Fees)
    3. Enter the amount of the bank fees (excluding the tax amount) in the Debit field, followed by the tax item in the Tax Item field
    4. Tab to the following line, in the Account field enter your Bank account.
      The Credit field will automatically enter the amount entered into the debit field plus the tax amount
    5. Click Save & Close to record the Journal Entry



    To enter Interest Earned;



    1. From the Company menu, select For Your Accountant then select Make General Journal Entries...
    2. Under the Account field, select an Income account used for tracking interest (e.g. Interest Earned)
    3. Enter the amount of interest earned (excluding the tax amount) in the Credit field, followed by the tax item in the Tax Item field
    4. Tab to the following line, in the Account field enter your Bank account.
