Deposit made to same account

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, ohioei.

I'd like to help you with the deposit, but I need more details from it. Did you write a check or created a journal entry to deposit an amount from Account A to Account A?

When recording a bank deposit in QuickBooks Desktop, you will need to select the account (Account A) you want to put the deposit into from the Deposit to drop-down. Then, from the From Account column, choose the account (Account B) where the money is coming from.

Here's a sample screenshot for reference:

i appreciate any details you can provide. Just leave a comment below and I get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks.

Thank you for your response.  

The issue I have is I wrote two checks from Account "A" that were deposited back into Account "A".   So I cannot use a deposit slip showing From Account A to Account A, which is what my bank statement shows.  I was trying to balance my bank statement with the QB entries but the bank statement shows the two written checks and the deposit whereas QB does not.  I have reissued the checks and deposited them into the correct Account "B" but I don't know how to clear the checks/deposit for reconciliation purposes. 

I'm sure there is a simple fix but I just haven't realized it yet.  

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for sharing the detailed information, @ohioei.

Since you're unable to select the same account on a Bank Transfer transaction, you'll want to follow the workaround shared by my colleague. This way, it will post to Account A as what should be on your bank transaction.

You may follow these steps to make a bank deposit:

1. Go to the Banking menu and then select Bank Deposits.
2. On the Deposit To drop-down menu, select Account A.
3. From the From Account column, choose Account B where the money is coming from.
4. Enter the other necessary information.
5. Once done, click on Save & Close.
