Exclude or delete transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed

Learn how to remove transactions downloaded from your bank.

If you connect your bank and credit card accounts to online banking, QuickBooks Self-Employed automatically downloads your latest transactions for you. All you have to do is categorise them.
