Hi, I am a bookkeeper, and I also do contract work for another bookkeeper as well. I am not an employee of their company. How do I categorize the income deposits that come in to my bank account from that work?
Let me help you categorize income from your contract work, aes74.
We can create a sales receipt or deposit then select an income account to record the transaction. You can follow the steps and details in the Create and send sales receipts in QuickBooks Online article to enter the sales receipt. To make a deposit, just follow the steps below:
To learn more about this one, see the Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Online article. Feel free to visit our Banking page for more insights about managing your bank feeds and reconciling accounts.

I see what you're saying about the bank deposits, but I created an invoice and was paid by this company. So I'm wondering why it doesn't automatically show a match when that amount comes in? Will it do that or do I code it a certain way?
Recording payments are manually done in QuickBooks, @aes74.
However, there's a feature in QuickBooks Online that you can automatically apply credits to invoices. You simply need to turn on the feature.
Let me show you how:
1. Click the Gear icon at the upper right corner.
2. Under Your Company, click Account and Settings.
3. Go to the Advanced tab in the left panel.
4. Select Automation and put a checkmark for Automatically apply credits.
5. Click OK, and then Done.

Thanks for your reply; I went into the advanced settings and this was already turned on.
Hello there, @aes74.
Allow me to join the thread and provide information on how to match your downloaded transaction to the invoice.
If you created a Deposit and created a Received payment option, you'll see duplicates. To fix this, you can delete one of the payments either the deposit from your bank feeds or the received payment you recorded.
If you prefer to delete the Receive Payment, here's what you'll need to do in linking the added Deposit to the invoice.
To delete the Receive Payment:
After that, let's edit the Deposit, the one added from your bank feeds to change the ACCOUNT column to Accounts Receivable so we can apply it to the invoice.
Then, use the Receive Payment option to link the invoice and deposit.
Once done, go back to your bank's register to review your transactions. You'll see that there were no duplicates and the actual deposit you received from your customer was linked to the invoice.
To know more on how to manage bank downloaded transactions and customer payments, see the below articles:
In case you want to reconcile the account in the future, here's an article for your guide: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.
