Why are "Retained Earnings" Showing up in the Expense sidebar tab if it is listed as an Equity? Trying to account for Automatic deposit to Savings account from Checking

Hello, information.

Allow me to share some helpful information about retained earnings in QuickBooks Online.

Retained earnings are the profits that a company has earned to date, less any dividends or other distributions paid to investors. This amount is adjusted whenever there is an entry to the accounting records that impacts a revenue or expense account.

Your Retained Earnings account shows the total of your company's income and expenses from all previous years.
