First I would enter an invoice for the deposit or a sales receipt. Make sure to use an item (such as Deposit of Work) to directly hit the liability account. Then again I would enter an invoice/sales receipt for ALL the charges. On the next or last line I would again using the same item code (such as Deposit of Work) to hit the liability account.
