Can I connect my bank auto loan account to quickbooks to automatically download my loan payment transactions?

Connecting your bank auto loan account to QuickBooks is a good idea, @dhkosoy. However, most banks don't provide transaction feeds for liability accounts. This is why liability accounts, such as loans, cannot be connected directly.

What we can do is set up a liability account and record it manually to track the loan repayment.

Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon, then select Chart of Accounts.
2. Choose New to create an account.
3. From the Account Type, select Long-Term Liabilities.
4. From the Detail Type, select Notes Payable.
5. Give your account a relevant name.
6. Choose when you want to start tracking your finances.
7. In the Balance field, enter the amount in the account and determine the as-of-date.
8. Enter today's date if you start tracking immediately.
9. Select Save and Close.

After setting up your liability account, and if you want to determine the loan balance and record the loan repayment, please refer to steps 2 and 3 of this article. Set up a loan in QuickBooks Online.
