Chart of account

That's exactly what I did.  Instead of just using Unapplied cash payment income I used cash and that is what was causing that negative number.  I've now fixed this.  Thank you!!!

@EliasWesler  Oh, right.

Adding to this, I was assuming here that the owner was just putting money into the bank account.

If you're trying to record a cash deposit as in income you received in the form of cash, that's a different story than my explanation earlier, but it works the same way and would probably save you having a Cash bank account in the first place.

There's a lot of ways you could go about recording a payment you received as cash; simply using the relevant Income account as your source account in the Make a Deposit window would work, as would using undeposited funds from the relevant invoice or sales receipt. If you're not sure, you're probably better off consulting your accountant, assuming that's not you.

This website is fine for questions, but in the end, none of us know exactly what you have going on over there.

I do not have an accountant.  This is a newly started LLC account that I made.  We do not currently have funds for an accountant so I'm trying to learn the software.  (I'm still keeping a physical record separately as well).  Everything was a deposit made by me into my account at the bank.
