I received a payment by direct transfer to my banking account, how to report this payment on QBO?

Hi there and welcome to the QuickBooks Community!

Learning the best ways to record income using QuickBooks Online is an important step. It ensures that you're accounting for your transactions in the most accurate way possible. I'm happy to give you a hand with this.

If by direct transfer, you mean a transfer from your customer to pay for products or services that you provided, this is quite simple. You'll want to hit the + New button, then choose between an Invoice or a Sales Receipt. Select the appropriate customer from the customer dropdown and fill in the lines to represent the items that you've sold. If using a Sales Receipt you can choose Direct Debit as the payment method, and if you're creating an Invoice, you'll be able to select payment method once you record the Payment through the + New button. 

If this payment has popped into your bank feeds through the Transactions menu, you'll be able to select it and click Find match to locate the Invoice or Sales Receipt that you previously entered. You also have the option to record a Sales Receipt or Deposit directly from the bank feed by hitting the transaction, entering the details, and choosing Add. Don't record the Sales Receipt or Invoice elsewhere in QuickBooks if you do this so that you don't end up with duplicate transactions in your books.

If you mean something else by direct transfer, please reply to this thread with additional details so I can continue to assist you with this. Otherwise, have a great week and please stay safe!
