Hi there, @MelonieBP. Welcome to the Community.
The problem you're experiencing typically occurs due to an incorrect date format for the transaction dates in your CSV import file. The 01/01/1970 is a default value QuickBooks uses when it is unable to successfully interpret a valid date.

The date will display properly once you use the correct formats.
To correct the transactions that are picking up the 01/01/1970 date, you need to exclude them and then re-import them with the corrected date format. To exclude them, follow the steps below:
I've also added this article to help you explore more about CSV file formats: Format CSV files in Excel to get bank transactions into QuickBooks.
