There is a payment and 2 deposits in unapplied payment income. How can I clear these transactions from the profit and loss statement?
Hello there, @Salessio0564.
I'm here to assist with sharing insights on how to clear unapplied payments in QuickBooks Online.
When generating a profit and loss report using the cash method, you may come across unapplied cash payment income. This account is established to ensure precise tax reporting. To begin resolving these entries, start by running your open invoice reports.
Here are the steps that you need to follow:
If the Payment transaction doesn’t match an open invoice you can follow Step 3.
After completing this process, you can generate a new profit and loss report, and the unapplied income will no longer appear.

If you have any other questions about unapplied cash payment income, let me know by adding a comment below. I'm always here to help. Keep safe!
There are no open invoices for these transactions. The transaction type on both deposits are “Deposit”. Do I need to change the transaction type if I have to create an invoice for these 2 payments? Also, payment method is blank. Should this be changed to “Check” as payment method, so when I create a new invoice I can link it as receive payment?
There's no need to change the transaction type, @Salessio0564. Let me chime in and add details about these transactions.
Since there aren't open invoices, we can skip to step 3 of the Unapplied cash payment income on your profit and loss article my colleague provided.
Here's how:
After rerunning the Profit and Loss report, the unapplied cash payment income will no longer be visible.
Moreover, about the blank payment method, you'll have to change depending on whether you want to select check, cash, ACH, etc.
I've also added an article if you want to customize and add specifics to your sales forms in QBO.
