I appreciate you posting your concern here in the community. Let me share details about bank transactions from a linked bank account. 

 

To begin with, could you please provide the name of your financial institution? This will allow me to verify whether we have received any reports related to your concern. 

 

QuickBooks depends on the data supplied by your bank and the way transactions are documented online for imported transactions. Therefore, I suggest contacting your bank for additional support regarding why your expenses are appearing as deposits. 

 

In the meantime, since it is not possible to modify the deposits from your bank that are displayed in your Bank Feeds. However, we can exclude the expenses that appear as deposits and manually record them as a deposit.

 

The following steps will provide you with further guidance:

 

  1. Go to the Transactions menu in the left panel. Select Bank transactions.
  2. Choose the For Review tab.
  3. Put a checkmark on the box of the transactions you want to exclude.
  4. Click Exclude.
