I came across similar posts, such as this one: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/reports-and-accounting/i-used-dd-to-pay-independen...

However, the account for both the DDs and the debits are all marked as an expense account (more specifically "Contract labor", a default expense account present when I first logged in). 

Is there some way to merge these transactions, or to setup a rule to make them not double count in the future?
