It's awesome to have you here, Ashley.
Yes, you can use the bank deposit feature if you want to increase the bank balance and not record a sale. A journal entry would also work the same if you want to consider doing so.
For help with journal entries and what accounts to use, we do recommend that you reach out to an accounting professional first. We can only provide the steps you need to do in QuickBooks, but handling your books and doing JE transactions is best assisted by your accountant.
If you don't have one, we can help you find someone to help you. You can visit the following link to locate accountants based in the US: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/find-an-accountant/
You can also refer to this link for help: How to Use Journal Entries
Visit us anytime for additional questions or concerns. I'll be right here to help you out. Have a good one!
