Hi there, ajmille.
Let's start by reviewing your transactions for that month to ensure they are categorized correctly. It might have been mistakenly linked to the wrong date, causing it to appear as a 2025 payment. Allow me to guide you through the steps to categorize it correctly.
There are two types of recategorizing your transactions in QBSE. If you're using a web browser, follow these steps:
- Go to the Transactions menu.
- Find the transaction you want to edit.
- Select the ▼ icon to expand the transaction.
- Edit the transaction name, add notes, or attach a receipt.
- To change the category, select the link in the Type or Category column.
- Then, select a new category.
- Once done, select Save.

If you're using a phone (iOS or Android) or Tablet, kindly follow these steps:
- If you're on an iOS device, go to the Transactions menu. If you're on an Android device, select the menu ☰ icon and then Transactions.
- Click the Reviewed tab.
- Select the transaction you want to edit.
- Click Edit.
- Change the details or category.
- Once done, select Save.
