QB keeps posting bank deposits as expenses

Thank you for providing details of your concern, @Woodie W.

When entering transactions, do not select the bank account as a category. It will post the Deposit and payment at the same time. You will need to make sure you choose the right category. For example, income, expenses, liabilities, assets, or equity.

This is occurring when we import transactions directly from bank.

This occurs automatically when we import directly from our connected bank account.

Thanks for the additional information, Woodie W.

Looks like this has something to do with your bank setup. I recommend reaching out to your financial institution to help correct the settings for your bank transactions.
