How can I included direct deposits in the Quickbooks Self Employed bank transfer?

In QuickBooks Self-Employed, direct deposits are not automatically categorized as bank transfers because the system primarily recognizes them as income transactions.

When you connect your bank account, QuickBooks automatically downloads transactions, including direct deposits, which you will categorize as business income rather than a transfer. To include the direct deposits as part of your bank transfers, you can manually adjust the transaction category.

Here’s how you can do it:

1. Go to the Transactions tab.
2. Find the direct deposit transaction.
3. Make sure it is categorized as Business.
4. Change the category by clicking on Income, then selecting Transfer or any other category that better suits your needs for this transaction from the drop-down menu or list.
