QUickbooks won't let me list a deposit without linking it to an account, how do i do that?

I’m glad to see you in the Community, contact-namronre.

We want to make sure your financial records are in order. That’s why you’ll have to choose an account to link the deposit.

Let’s go to the ACCOUNT column to accomplish this task. I’m here to help you can do this in just a few clicks.

Here’s how:

1. In QuickBooks Online (QBO), tap the New menu in the upper right and choose Bank deposit under Other.
2. Next, head to the Add funds to this deposit section and click the RECEIVED FROM drop-down to select the customer’s name you’re working on.
3. Go to the ACCOUNT column and choose the category type you wish to use.
4. Fill in the remaining fields with the correct information.
5. Click Save and close.
