A bank error I don't know how to fix

[Anita Graves]

Thanks very much, David — however, it was not a personal account, it is for my religious organization.  Should I enter it as a contribution from the bank?  Or, as a credit against bank charges?  

What do you suggest?  It isn’t really a contribution but something else….

If they don't, you can consider it a gift and put it under an account called "Income:Gift to Me" or similar so that you don't need to pay tax on it.  That is what I would do.  If they do correct it, you can still use the same income account to hold the $.50 in until they take it back.
