Dealing with duplicate transactions can be a time-consuming process but don't worry, I'm here to help get you back on track. QuickBooks Self-Employed offers a great variety of tools and resources which simplify the way you handle your accounting.
Step 1: Double-check your bank statement
Before making changes in QuickBooks Self-Employed, I recommend checking your bank statement. To do this, sign in to your bank's website and pull up the statement for the period you see the duplicate.
If you see the transaction on your statement twice, your data downloaded correctly. If you only see the transaction once, move on to Step 2.
Step 2: Check your online bank connections:
Make sure your bank or credit card account is only connected to QuickBooks Self-Employed once. If it's connected twice, you can simply hide one of the accounts. Doing this stops QuickBooks from downloading new transactions from the second connection.
