For Self Employed Freelance plan. I was able to import a range of Banking Transactions via a .csv file, but is is not allowing me to manually add the bank it is from?

Hi there, susan76,

Let me clear things out for you.

Yes, you need to connect your bank account in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE). The system will automatically download transactions overnight.

Then, you have the option to manually import transactions to the desired bank anytime once connected. Just make sure your file is using the 3-column or 4-column format for the CSV file to have a successful import.

The following steps below will guide you through moving bank statements:

1. Open QBSE in a web browser.
2. Go to Settings ⚙.
3. Click Imports.
4. Choose the account you want to add the transactions into, then click Import older transactions under Action.
   
5. Click Browse and find the file you downloaded from your bank. 
   
6. Select the file and hit Open to start the import.
7. Review the column headers and data. Make sure the Date, Description, and Amount columns on the CSV match the columns and order in QuickBooks. 
8. Click Continue to complete the import.

After that, review what you've imported. Then, check for any duplicates and categorize your transactions before putting them in your accounts.
