How should IRA contributions appear?

I'm still very new to Quicken and have it synced to several bank accounts including my main checking at Bank of America, and my IRA's at Merrill Lynch (Merrill Edge).

When I sync my accounts and look at all transactions, they look like this. (I would do this as a screenshot but it won't let me upload a screenshot, so I'm typing out each column.)

03/15/21 || Merrill Lynch || Transfer || -$5000.00 || Bank of America Checking
03/15/21 || Employer Contrib || [Merrill IRA] || +$5000.00 || Merrill IRA

I believe that's right, because the two transactions cancel each other out (-5k and +5k), but I wanted to make sure that the way the "Transfer" and "[Merrill IRA]" categories show up is correct, so that they get categorized properly.
