Join nowI have an invoice that was paid by customer with Intuit transfer option. So intuit already says the payment is made on the invoice. So now that the bank download shows the deposit for this transfer I cannot match it to the invoice because it already matched automatically when intuit saw the transfer happened. What do I do with this bank deposit entry?
Thanks for dropping by the Community, @thatcherk1.
Is the payment already deposited in QuickBooks Online (QBO) as well? If so, it may not link to the invoice yet. If that's the case, here's how to link them.
To start, let's locate and edit the deposit:
After that, here's how to link it to the invoice:

This solution doesn't work because the invoice is already marked as paid in quickbooks online when the customer pays through intuit payments before the bank deposit comes in and then is downloaded to QBO. Once the bank deposit comes in and is downloaded, at that point the deposit can't be applied to the invoice because the invoice is already marked paid. The only option offered is to show it as a credit to the customer account which is as if it had been paid twice. This makes he P&L incorrect by double-counting the income.
Hi XGC,
I can show you how to match the paid invoice to the downloaded deposit transaction.
You're right, the invoice will be marked as paid once your customer paid it online. That payment will be deposited into the Undeposited Funds account. We need to deposit it into your bank so we can match the payment with the deposit transaction from your Banking. You can follow these steps:
Once done, we can now match them. You can follow the steps in this article for your guide: Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.
You can also set a default account to where QuickBooks Online will automatically record the transactions. That way, you can easily match them. Here's an article for your reference: Choose where to record payments and processing fees for QuickBooks Payments.

Following those instructions, when I get to the matching stage there are two possible transactions I can match to: The deposit I just created, or the payment that was made through the intuit payments online system on the earlier date. If I match to the deposit I created, then the bank account balance is correct and the customer balance (A/R) is correct, but the balance sheet now shows an uncategorized asset in the negative amount of the deposit offset by an unapplied payment of the same amount which net to zero (presumably the result of having the payment through quickbooks online not being matched to anything). If I match to the payment from quickbooks online then the deposit I created results in a duplicate in the bank account so that balance is off and the customer gets additional duplicate A/R to their account so they look as if they've paid twice. However, I noticed that in the latter case (matching to the payment) I can delete the bank deposit I created and end up in the right place, with the right bank balance and the right customer A/R balance and no strange offsetting entries on the balance sheet. I don't know why QBO wouldn't let me just match to the payment in the first place, but this seemed to work out (fingers crossed).
