Hi there, @revmvelliott.

 

It's nice to have you with us in the Community today. I'd be delighted to assist you to import your transactions into QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE).

 

Are you getting any error messages? First, you'll have to ensure the data is in the correct format before you upload it. You can upload CSVs using either the 3-column or 4-column format. The 3-column format has DateDescription, and Amount columns.

 

 

The 4-column format has DateDescriptionCredit, and Debit columns.

 

 

Please take note that CSV files for credit card accounts may display transactions in reverse. For example, deposits may appear as negative amounts because paying your credit card reduces your balance. 

 

Then, if you see an error message when you upload, do the following:

 

  • Remove any zeros (0) from the file. Leave those cells blank.
  • Correct any transactions that display numbers in the Description column.
  • Remove the word "amount" if it appears in the Credit or Debit column header. They should only read "Credit" and "Debit" without the word "amount."
  • Make sure the dates are in one format. We recommend you use: dd/mm/yyyy.
  • Mac users must save the file as a Windows CSV file.
  • Some banks add the day of the week in the Date column (for example, 20/11/2018 TUE). You need to remove the day of the week. To do this, split the date and the day of the week into separate columns:
    1. Open the CSV in Microsoft Excel.
    2. Highlight the column that contains the date.
    3. Go to Data then select Text to Columns.
    4. Follow the onscreen steps and select the following:
      • Original data type: Delimited
      • Delimiters: Space
      • Column data format: General

 

When your file is formatted correctly, upload them into QBSE and ensure to match the columns on the file with the correct fields in QuickBooks. Finally, review and categorize your transactions to put them in your accounts.

 

If you have more questions about working with bank feeds, let me know in the comment section. I'll be right here to lend you a hand. Have a good one!
