My linked bank account has not updated in QuickBooks for months. I tried to link it again but it says it is already linked. Advice?

Let me guide you on how to fix your bank issue, Tricia.

QuickBooks Online (QBO) downloads transactions every night but may still vary. But before we start, may I know what's the name of your bank? You can manually update your bank to keep up with the latest transactions. To do so, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Choose Transactions from the left menu.
2. Go to Banking.
3. Select Update.

However, if the same thing happens, you can log in to your bank website and check for alerts or known issues that may have been the cause of the update to be slow and stuck. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Check your account for messages, notifications, or alerts.
2. Look for any display issues as you navigate the website. These can block QuickBooks from downloading new transactions.
3. Check your bank’s website for any announcements about new security requirements.

Moreover, learn how to create rules that automatically categorize transactions for you.  I've added this article for reference: Set UP Bank Rules To Categorize Online Banking Transactions in QuickBooks Online.
