Chase Credit Card Employee Replacement Card

Hi All!

I had an employee lose a chase credit card, we got the new card and connected it to Chase (this is a sub account to the Parent credit card account), which worked fine. But now the balance sheet is out of wack, because the new card has a starting balance of -$61,000. It has a bunch of old transactions from the previous card which may be causing the issue. But I can't categorize the charges because they have already been accounted for on the old card, in which cased there would be double expenses.

 

Not sure how to handle this situation. Can anyone help?

 

Thanks so much!

Matthew

Hello, komatthew. 

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. When you connect to online banking, the same opening balance transaction may download to all subaccounts. You must delete all but one of these balances when you reconcile.  

 

In line with this, all your transactions in the subaccounts roll up into the parent credit card account. That being said, there isn't a need to write off the incorrect balances. To know more about this, I'd recommend checking out this article: About bank or credit card subaccount setup

 

Once your transactions are downloaded, you'll have to review and/or match them to the existing entries in QuickBooks. This way, you can keep your account updated. You can refer to this article to know more about this: Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online

 

After that, you're now set to reconcile your Chase credit card account in QBO. I'd recommend performing this process every month to effectively monitor your business expenses. For the step-by-step guide, you refer to this article: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with all the transactions that are in the new card. Do I exclude, delete, or categorize? If I categorize then that will add to my expenses which will also be incorrect.

 

Thanks for the help.

I'll help you in handling that, Matthew.

 

Once you connect your credit card, QuickBooks automatically downloads your historical transactions and totals them up for you. Since some of these transactions are from the old credit card, you'll want to exclude them to ensure that your starting balance is accurate and up-to-date. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Banking or Transactions menu.
  2. Select the Banking tab, then choose the appropriate bank account.
  3. Head to the For Review tab.
  4. Tick the checkbox of the transactions to exclude.
  5. Click Exclude.

In addition, here are some articles that you can browse to help review your downloaded transactions and reconcile your accounts:

 

Feel welcome to reach out to me again with any concerns or questions you may have. Have a good one.

Thanks for the reply.

I excluded the extra transactions, but the balance sheet is still out of wack. It still shows -61,000, when there should be a positive outstanding balance.

Not sure how to solve this.

 

Thanks

Let's work together and solve this, @komatthew. How did you connect these accounts to online banking?

 

Ideally, each credit card subaccounts balance will result in the total balance of the parent account. Learn more about credit card account connected to online banking using this article:  The Bank and Credit Card Subaccount Setup.

 

I also suggest contacting your accountant for guidance in understanding each account balance along with working on your reports. Use the link to find someone you want to work with: The QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor.
