I've got your back, Steve. Let's configure your settings to disable the automatic assignment of accounts in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac.
When this feature is selected, the Intuit Categorization Service suggests ways to assign payees and accounts to your downloaded transactions, making your banking workflow more efficient.
In case you face any issues with the assigned expense account when categorizing your bank transactions, you can turn off the Intuit Categorization feature quickly by following these steps:
- Go to QuickBooks and click Preferences.
- Select Online Banking.
- Uncheck the “Use Intuit Categorization” checkbox.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you, Steve. I'll be happy to assist you with any QuickBooks-related concerns. Stay safe!
