Hi there, quickbooks newbie here :waving_hand: hoping someone has a solution to my problem! Most of my clients pay in cash, so I’ve been creating these invoices and then marking them as paid in cash. These invoices are then treated as business income. The problem I have is when I then bank this cash it’s recorded as business income again, therefore it looks like I’m earning twice as much as I actually am! Any solutions for this please?
regards, Matt

I’ve got some information to share with you, @mreed19.
Creating invoices and marking them as paid is for tracking purposes only. Then don’t affect your profit and loss statements and any other reports.
When your downloaded bank transactions are available, that’s the time you can categorize them as part of your income. It will automatically reflect in your financial reports.
You can read this article to learn how to fix duplicate transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed: Handle duplicate transactions in QuickBooks.
Also, here’s an illuminating guide that provides information on how QuickBooks tracks everything throughout the year: QuickBooks Self-Employed Overview. It contains instructions to help organize your records efficiently.

Thank you for joining this thread, @YFC. I appreciate you letting us know that you tried the provided resolution above about the duplicate transaction.
I'll be glad to help you and provide an efficient resolution to your reconciliation issue. For now, I would like to know the QuickBooks product you are using. This thread is for QuickBooks Self-employed. And it doesn't have a reconciliation feature. I'll look forward to your response to tell us the QuickBooks version you are using.

Oh, I am sorry, i didn't know it was a different product. i am using QuickBooks desktop pro 2021.
Should i ask my question elsewhere?
Hello there, @YFC.
I appreciate you returning to the conversation and providing more information on your concern. Let me chime in and share additional details about reconciling transaction in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
To start with, I suggest reviewing all the deleted entries if they are appearing on the Chart of Accounts. Once verified that they show from there, compare them to what's in your register on your past statement. This is to verify if those deleted transactions are duplicates and if they are, you can just ignore them if those are already cleared in your QBDT. If not, we'll need to undo the reconciliation.
Here's how to undo the reconciliation.
In undoing reconciliation, it would be best to seek professional advice from your accountant to ensure the accuracy of your books. If you're not affiliated with one, you can utilize our Find an Accountant tool to look for one in your area.
For more information, please see this article: Fix beginning balance issues in QuickBooks Desktop.
Once done, we can undo banking by deleting the transaction to remove this in your report.
In addition, please check out this article to help manage your other downloaded transactions: Add and match Bank Feed transactions. When you're ready to reconcile the bank account, you can check out the instructions here.
Feel free to get back in here if you have further questions about fixing bank reconciliation in QuickBooks. I'm always around to help. Keep safe!
