So I went through all the steps in the accounting tab and that seems to have solved the issue. I’m still confused as all get out, but I am now able to define the accounting account for my bank account is my bank account. I’ve probably done it wrong, but it seems to be working for now. EDIT: NO IT ISN’T, SEE BELOW
Attached is an image of the accounting tab for other newbies looking for the same thing.
