In order to clear the amount in this account, you\u2019ll need to make deposits.<\/p>\n<p>Since the deposits were recorded as journal entries (JE) crediting the clearing account, you\u2019ll need delete them including the one going to the Misc. Income account. Then, deposit the payment to your desired bank.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/quickbookexperts.com\/Blog\/2019\/11\/06\/create-or-restore-a-quickbooks-portable-company-file\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">backing up your company file<\/a>\u00a0before making any changes since the process can\u2019t be reversed.<\/p>\n<p>To delete the journal entries:<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Go to the\u00a0<strong>Lists\u00a0<\/strong>menu.<br \/>\n2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Select\u00a0<strong>Chart of Accounts<\/strong>.<br \/>\n3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Double-click\u00a0<strong>Undeposited Funds<\/strong>.<br \/>\n4.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Double-click the JE to open it, one at a time.<br \/>\n5.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Press\u00a0<strong>Ctrl\u00a0<\/strong>+\u00a0<strong>D\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard to delete.<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s deposit the payments.
