Debit the account that is receiving the cash and credit the account that the cash is coming from. Because debits always equal credits, every transaction (including a deposit) must have equal debits and credits.
For example, if you are depositing $100 received for a sale, debit the checking account and credit the revenues or sales account. If you are depositing $100 that was received from a customer to pay off an accounts receivable, then debit the checking account and credit that customer's account in accounts receivable.
