I have a bank deposit that is showing as a negative transaction. How do I fix this?

Your presence here in the Community forum is greatly appreciated, Deb. You can review your transactions and ensure that all are entered correctly. Let me guide you further and help you fix this.

First, most beginning balance issues are caused by an incorrect opening balance. Thus, if you notice that your beginning balance is incorrect, you'll have to double-check and edit the opening balance. This is the account's starting point you set when you first created it in QuickBooks.

Here's how:

1. On the upper right corner, look for the Gear icon.
2. Select Chart of accounts.
3. Locate the account. Then, click View register.
4. Find the opening balance entry. To do so, you can sort the date column to show the oldest entries first.
5. Choose the opening balance entry. Then, make the necessary changes. If needed, click the Edit button.
6. Once done, select Save.

Furthermore, if some transactions don't appear in your bank register, you'll have to add or record them to QuickBooks. Ensure you've added, categorized, or matched your transactions in the For review tab.

Also, while ensuring all your transactions are recorded, you can review your bank statement regularly to check if the transactions have been cleared.
