Greetings!
I do not know why I am seeing a negative in my quickbook balance column. Can someone please help me understand and make corrections if needed?
I am not sure how to create a screenshot. I've also attached my Bank Register of Notarization Services as a pdf attachment. Please see the 2nd page. The two amounts are listed in the "Payment" column and I do not recall entering those amounts in that column. I attempted to correct the amounts by placing them in the "Deposit" column but the system will not allow me to (see 3rd page - shows message why edits are prohibited). When I click the "Edit" button it takes to me to the "Bank Deposit" page (see page 4). I am not sure what to do on page 4 - Bank Deposits. I hope that the additional information helps you to help me. Kind regards, Candice

It looks like your 'Notarization Service' account is mapped to your Petty Cash account. When you select 'Notarization Service' under Category when making a bank deposit, it deposits the money into petty cash and withdraws it. Go to your Chart of Accounts and change the income account for 'Notarization Service' from Petty Cash to the appropriate income account.

Greetings Rainflurry.
I was able to get assistance with this from support. I categorized the Notarization Service to "Other Income" which changed the (-) $12.00 to (+) $12.00. Thank you for responding. I hope this thread will help someone in the future.
