When I imported a CSV (comma-separated value file) of transactions from my bank today, I noticed all the debits (checks withdrawals, transfers out, etc.) show up as credits: the Amount in transaction views has no minus sign, is gray and not red, and has parentheses. All the deposits and interest showed up as credits (correctly) as well. The CSV contents looked the same as previous successful imports: withdrawals have a dollar amount in the Withdrawal column, and deposits have a dollar amount in the Deposit column
I finally tracked it down. There was a single transaction that showed up as a debit (minus sign, red, in parentheses). That transaction reversed an ATM withdrawal and it had a minus sign in the Withdrawal column, I guess on the theory that a Withdrawal of a negative amount is actually a credit. That seemed to be enough to trigger Skrooge to think every amount in Withdrawal without a minus sign was in fact a credit, and the only debit was this one.
Here’s a simple CSV to reproduce. Save it as test_withdrawals.csv, File > Import > Import… it, then open the new account that Skrooge creates with the imported transactions, “test withdrawals” All these import incorrectly: the withdrawals are credits and the only debit is the withdrawal with a minus sign (its description is “Reverse”). But I’m not even sure this is a bug. Skrooge’s auto-detection of what constitutes a debit has worked for years for me, and in all that time this is the only transaction from my bank that has a minus sign in the Withdrawal column of the CSV file.
"Date","Status","Type","CheckNumber","Description","Withdrawal","Deposit","RunningBalance"
"07/28/2026","Posted","ACH","","Buy our stuff","$531.32","","$1601.23"
"06/23/2026","Posted","ATM","","Shady ATM company (Reverse)","-$198.28","","$4,301.52"
"06/23/2026","Posted","ATM","","Shady ATM company","$198.28","","$3,903.24"
"06/22/2026","Posted","CHECK","1234","Check Paid #1234","$156.00","","$3,700"
To fix this, in the CSV I moved the amount of the problem transaction from the “Withdrawal” position to the “Deposit” position, without a minus sign.
