Let me help you categorize the money transaction in QuickBooks Online (QBO), donna9price.

 

We can deposit the money into the bank account. For the category, it depends on what the money is used for. If it's for personal use or personal money put into the business, we can categorize it as owner's equity. We also recommend consulting your accountant to properly record this transaction in QBO. Here's how to create a bank deposit: 

  1. Click the New Plus icon. 
  2. Select Bank Deposit.
  3. From the Account dropdown, choose the account you want to put the money into.
  4. Choose the checkbox for each transaction you want to combine.
  5. Make sure the total of the selected transactions matches your deposit slip. Use your deposit slip as a reference.
  6. Press Save and Close.

 

To learn more about this one, see the Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Online article. Then, run the Deposit Detail report. This report lists all your completed bank deposits. Here's how: 

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. Enter Deposit Detail in the search field.
  3. Click the Customize button.
  4. Enter the date in the Report period field. 
  5. Choose Filter.
  6. Select Account and choose the Owner's equity account. 
  7. Tap Run report

 

We can also customize the report and once you have the perfect set of filters, save them so you can run the same report in the future.

  1. After you customize a report, select Save customization.
  2. Give your report a name.
  3. Select Save.
