"the bank is correct"  - perhaps you missed that part.  no logical explanation, all 3 payroll amounts match the bank feed items, and the dates and the bank accounts.  got any other ideas for this glitch?

To ensure payroll items accurately match your bank feed, verify that each transaction is reconciled and has not been previously matched with another downloaded transaction.

It's important to note that not all transactions can be automatically matched by QuickBooks. In these cases, you'll need to do it manually. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Go to Transactions, then Bank transactions.
2. In the For review tab, select the transaction you want to match.
3. Click Match.
   
4. From there, you can filter the dates and transaction types.
5. Tick the box beside the transaction and hit Match.
