Accounts Receivable and deposits

Every accounting entry hits two accounts. One is a debit and other is a credit. When customer pays you, that is normally a debit to Cash/Bank account and credit to AR to clear that invoice off AR Aging report when paid so what you are seeing sounds normal.

Hi, @Deadwood Electric. You're in the right place.

I agree with what @Teri shared about the normal flow of debit and credit. Let me add info about accounts receivable and deposits.

Whenever you receive customer payments from an invoice it will automatically go to the bank where the money will be deposited and will show in your register. 

On the other hand, transactions show double accounts in the register when you receive payments and add the same transactions to the bank feeds. You can, however, exclude this in the Bank transactions. Feel free to read this article for more info: Exclude a bank transaction you downloaded into QuickBooks Online.
