transfer from bank account to subcategories in a different account

I can share some information about managing rental properties in QuickBooks Desktop, @SusanSh.

To track your rental income and expenses you may need to set up the following:

1. Set up tenants and vendors and then the accounts and service items you use.
2. Keep track of your security deposits.
3. Record the rent income from each tenant.
4. Add bills and checks in recording your expenses.
5. Pay the property owners.

You can find thorough instructions on how to record transactions for rental properties you manage in QuickBooks Desktop: Record transactions for a property management company.

To make sure that your accounts will show the correct balance using journal entries, I suggest consulting an accountant for guidance. See this article for more information about adding and editing a journal entry: Create a journal entry in QuickBooks Desktop for Windows or Mac.

Here's more information about creating General Journal Entry to remove AR and or AP balances from a cash basis balance sheet: Resolve AR or AP on the cash basis Balance Sheet with journal entries.

Keep me posted if you need further guidance in recording your transactions. I'm always glad to help in any way I can. Have a wonderful day!

Thanks for responding. The journal entry did what I needed--$119 went to rent and $341 went to contract labor. But I need to actually transfer the $460 from the deposit account to reflect the reduction in the balance and match the bank account. Can you tell me how to do that please without canceling out the deposits to rent and contract labor?
