Voids: Instead of deleting a Check, Invoice, Credit Memo, or Purchase Order, void it so that QuickBooks records all transactions, good practice to be followed in case of audits.

Credit Cards: Set up an account for each card that you do not pay in full each month. Enter transactions in the Credit Card Register; enter payments from the bank check register. Reconcile Credit Card Statements monthly, just as you do your bank statement.

Petty Cash: Set up petty cash as a bank account. Enter transactions in the Petty Cash register; enter reimburse Petty Cash account from the bank check register with your ATM cash out or check.

Sales Tax: Remember to collect a sales tax exemption letter/card for customers who ARE NOT taxable and mark them non-taxable when you set them up as a customer.
