Hello there. I see you need help with banking transactions showing as deposits instead of expenses.

 

Improper Excel spreadsheet formatting can sometimes cause the data to appear incorrectly. See this guide to make sure the format of the CSV file you got from your bank to upload transactions to QuickBooks is accurate: Format CSV files in Excel to get bank transactions into QuickBooks.

 

After that, manually re-upload the transactions into QBO. Here's how:

 

  1. Open the Banking menu and go to the Banking tab.
  2. Tick the blue tile for the account you want to upload the transactions into.
  3. Navigate to the Link account  dropdown and then hit Upload from file.
  4. Select Drag and drop or select files and pick the file you downloaded from your bank. Then select Continue.
  5. Go to the QuickBooks account ▼ dropdown, and select the account to which you want to upload the transactions. Then select Continue.
  6. Perform the onscreen steps to match the columns on the file with the correct fields in QuickBooks. Then hit Continue.
  7. Choose the transactions you would like to import. Then tap Continue.
  8. Choose Yes.
  9. When you accept your transactions, click on Done.

 

Finally, It'd be best if you share with us the name of your financial institution to investigate if there are reported cases from other users.

 

If you're all set, wants to manage transactions and find any mismatch in your account balances, see this for the fixes:

Another option, use MT Online or one of the converter tools (e.g csv2qbo) as a workaround.
