My expenses and income get double counted. Should I delete the square invoice link or the bank account where income goes in? How do I show I’m paying a CC and not expense

I do square invoices. People pay it by etransfer, direct deposit and credit card by square. For credit card payments, square takes their fee and sends the money to my bank account. What’s the best way to avoid duplicating income. Also my expenses are also duplicating I linked my credit cards but then pay my credit card with the bank account.

To prevent Square from creating duplicate income, you should not delete your links; you just need to Match the real-life bank deposit to the automated Square transaction instead of adding/creating a new entry.


Navigate to the All apps > Accounting > Integration transactions. Find the Square transaction and click Confirm. Next, go to your Bank transactions tab and find the actual deposit from Square. Click on the transaction to expand it, select Find Match, and check the box next to the corresponding Square transaction.  
 

For credit card payments made from your bank account, categorize the bank transaction as a Credit Card Payment to the appropriate credit card account. Follow these steps:
 

  1. Go to All apps , then Accounting, then Bank transactions.
  2. Select the account you need to transfer the payment from.
  3. Select the specific transaction.
  4. In the Transaction type dropdown, select Credit Card Payment.
  5. Select the credit card account you are paying.
  6. Look for Pair in the Match/Categorize column; if it is not there, you must pair it manually.
  7. Select Post.

Since you transferred money from your bank account to your credit card, this transaction is a credit card payment not a bank expense. Exclude the payment amount from your credit card transactions, as the transfer has already been recorded on the bank side to prevent double-counting.
