When posting deposits, QBO is creating a debit and credit and it is making the reconciliation off by the exact amount of the deposits. How can this be resolved?

You've come to the right place, @cpettit-directne.

QuickBooks creates debits and credits when entering bank deposits. This happens to all transactions.

When entering a transaction on the Category section or Line item, I recommend selecting another account type. Doing so prevents the deposit to post debit or credit.

You'll want to open a different transaction by clicking More and choose Transaction Journal. This way, you'll see the movement of funds from one account to another through debits and credits.
