Hi there, @skibumps90.

Allow me to join the thread and help share information about creating service-rent item in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

The reason why the tenant's rent is listed in the account as a payment and deposit because of the account you used when setting up the item. You need to select an income item and not the account where you'll deposit to.

You need to change the account link to the item created and you'll just be notified that all future transactions with the item will use the new account and update the existing transactions.

To change the account:

1. Go to List.
2. Select Item List.
3. Select the Service Item.
4. Select an income account in the Account section.
5. Click OK to save the changes.

Let me know if you have any other questions about service items in QBDT, I'm always here to help!
