Save time tracking and recording your receipts in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Scot. I can help you resolve any issues with duplicate receipts.
Once your bank is connected to online banking, QBO monitors your downloaded transactions and attempts to match them with receipts. If no match is found, a new transaction is created from the receipt, leading to duplicates. To resolve this, exclude either the scanned receipts or the bank transactions to prevent duplication in your account.
Here's how:
- Choose the Transactions tab.
- Select on Bank Transactions
- Find the transaction you want to exclude in the For Review section and check the checkbox.
- Click Exclude, then select the Excluded tab.
- Check the checkbox to select Delete to remove the receipt transaction.

Afterward, categorize your transactions by following the step-by-step instructions in the article: Categorize transactions in QuickBooks Online. This guide also includes how to edit and recategorize transactions.
In addition, check this article to attach receipts to your existing transactions: Categorize online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.
