Buy nowThe two transactions seem to be linked, even though only the deposit exists in my bank account. Deleting one will cause the other to be removed. I'm not sure how to unlink them or stop this from happening.
Below is an example of what it looks like. This is a problem because quickbooks now reports profit as far less than it should be which negates a lot of the usefulness of the system.

Hello there, robbert. Thank you for posting this here in the Community. We want to make sure your deposit will not post double in the debit and credit section of your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
In this case, the deposits are posted as debit and credit if categorized in the same bank account.
We'll need to ensure the deposit isn't categorized in the same bank account to fix the deposits from showing both credit and debit. For example, if the bank used for that deposit is the Checking bank account. Then, we should not categorize it in the Checking bank account as well.
If we're unsure what account to use for categorization, we'll need to reach out to an accountant or a QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor. That way, they can guide you with the appropriate process and ensure the accuracy of your books. See this article for details on categorizing transactions in QBO: Categorize online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.
Additionally, check out this link for managing deposits in QBO: Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Online.
Furthermore, we'll add these articles for future reference:

That does seem to fix the issue, as soon as I change the category it fixes the duplication. Thank you!
Hi there, Robert.
I'm glad that my colleague was able to help you with your concern.
I look forward to continuing to work together to deliver outstanding customer experiences.
I am having this same issue. I dont know how I should rename my catagory.
All of mine are the same type of transaction.
I have an advance deposit bank account
when its time I transfer the funds to our checking account.
so it is being transferred from one bank account
to another bank account.
So how can I just rename it?
I recognize the deposit issue within your bank register page. I'll go over some details to help you fix it.
One of the possible causes why your deposit shows as a payment is if this is added directly to your bank and categorized as an expense or payment. In this case, you need to undo the transaction from your bank register.
Here's how:
Once this transaction is removed it will revert to the For Review tab. If you want to put this back again to your register, you can add it directly from the Bank Register.
Follow the instructions below:
However, if you need to edit its category, click the specific transaction in the account register to expand the view and press the Edit button. Please refer to this page for the details steps: Find, review, and edit transactions in account registers in QuickBooks Online.
I'm adding these supporting articles that will help you manage your transactions under the Chart of Accounts:
If there's anything else I can help with regarding this topic; I'm still willing to lend a hand. Keep safe.
