Welcome to the Community.

Let me share information about connecting bank accounts in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

In QuickBooks, when you connect your bank account, you can save time entering your data manually. It will automatically download recent transactions. QuickBooks will then categorize them for you. You only have to approve the work.

However, you can also choose not to connect your bank. You can manually enter your data into your QuickBooks Self-Employed account.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Transaction menu and select Add Transaction.
2. Enter the amount and a description.
3. Select the Select a Category menu. Select the best category to organize your transaction.
4. If you have a receipt, you can drag and drop it onto the form.
5. Once done, select Save.

For future reference, you can read these articles to help you if you want to connect with your bank:
