How do I mark invoices as paid without it making the bank balance and QB balance not match?

[debipurifoy]

I connected my bank to qb and it downloaded all of the transactions.  I don't have invoices, etc.  I just categorize the transactions for review and add them to the qb bank balance.  How could my totals not match when literally all I did was categorize the download from the bank.  There isn't a transaction for the amount I'm off or 1/2 of it, or double it.  How do I find the discrepancies?

Hello @debipurifoy:

really simply.  Go to your bank register and look for the reconciled transaction that is applied to your opening balance equity acct.  delete it.  Reconcile your bank acct.
