In addition to what @4Gal has mentioned, you can also manually change the categories where your imported transactions fall under, @kvwarren65.
When manually importing transactions in QuickBooks Desktop, there is no option to edit the account where it imports. This is because QuickBooks automatically detects which accounts to post the transactions based on the information from your imported file. So, if you notice that your transaction isn't under the correct account, you can just manually edit it. This way, you can guarantee that your records stay accurate.
Here's how to change a transaction's category in the Advanced bank feed mode:
- Go to the Banking menu.
- Select Bank Feeds and select Bank Feeds Center and review the transactions in each category.
- Click the dropdown of the transaction you want to edit. Then, View details.
- Select the right category for your transaction.
Moving forward, you can create bank rules to make categorizing transactions easier. If you're using the Express bank feed mode, you can create rules only for renaming and categorizing transactions. But if you're using the Advanced bank feed mode, you can automatically assign a class and a payee.
