Owner's Draws: Categorize or Transfer?

When you record an Owner's Draw from a bank feed, are you supposed to record a Categorize or Transfer?  I want to make sure I am doing it correctly.  I have included a screen snip below, showing how QuickBooks is suggesting Transfer, but I thought it should be Categorize.  Thank you for any help.

Hi BrandonS-CPA_Padgett!

 

It's great to see you posting today! I'm happy to provide details about recording an owner's draw from a downloaded transaction.

 

QuickBooks will randomly suggest a method to record a downloaded transaction. You are right about categorizing the downloaded draw instead of recording it as a Transfer. To do this, you'll want to click on it and choose the right category.

 

Another way of recording a draw is to manually create a check. Here's an article for more details: Set up and pay an owner's draw.

 

I'm just a comment away should you need more help with your transaction. Take care and happy weekend!
