How do I change the bank account info that has been posted to the wrong account when I entered it manually?

Glad to have you here in the Community, @jcyr1.

 

Allow me to fill you in on everything you need to know about creating transactions manually in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE).

 

Changing the bank account to the manually added transactions in QBSE isn't available. Please know that QBSE will automatically post the transaction to the Cash account (the default account).

 

Since you want to post the transactions to your bank account, you'll need to connect your bank to QBSE. Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QBSE account.
  2. Click the Gear icon, then select Bank Accounts.
  3. Search for your bank and enter the sign-in info you use for your bank's website.
  4. Select Connect securely once you're ready.

 

Once it's successfully connected, you can now import your bank transactions in QBSE. This way, it'll be posted to your bank account.

 

You might also want to learn how to properly categorize your bank transactions in QBSE. This article will guide you through the steps: Categorize transactions.

 

If you need any additional assistance while managing your bank transactions, you can leave a comment below. I'll be sure to get back to you.

How do I change the bank account info that has been posted to the wrong account when I entered it manually?

Hello, I was using QBSE, which only has a cash account.  I switched to QBonline and added my checking account.  All of the transactions that carried over, were put in the cash account automatically.  Now that I've added my checking account to QBonline, can I use reclassify transactions to move all of the transactions from the cash account to the checking account?  Do I have to do them one at a time?  Can I group them and move them from cash to checking?  Thanks,

Good day, @tdaniels77.

 

The option to move bank transactions from one account to another depends on how you bring your data from QBSE to QBO. 

 

If you select Bring my data during the switching of plans/subscription, I'd suggest using the Transfer feature in QuickBooks Online. Doing this will only move your bank balance but not the transactions themselves. Though, this would lessen your time correcting your bank balance. 


Here's how:

 

  1. Click New and select Transfer.
  2. Choose the cash account from the Transfer Funds From drop-down list.
  3. Select the checking account from the Transfer Funds to drop-down menu.
  4. Click Save and new.

 

Please take note that you'll only be able to perform this action if you see the Explore QuickBooks option during the migration.

 

If you don't see the Explore QuickBooks option and manually move data using a CSV file, I'd recommend undoing your categorized transactions. Then, exclude them and manually re-upload transactions again using a CSV file to correct the checking account. 

 

Once they're in QuickBooks, it's time to match and categorize them. The transactions go into your accounts after you review them.

 

The final step is to reconcile them. This ensures your books are accurate and there aren't any duplicate transactions.


I'll be here if you have any concerns or questions just let me know in the comment section below. Stay safe and have a wonderful day ahead.

I am having this same issue. I am missing 2 months worth of transactions, and my bank does not allow me to choose transactions to save as a CSV file (I talked to several people at my bank). So I tried to enter the transactions manually, but they are all posting to the Cash account (even though I have my checking open in QBSE). This is SO frustrating. I would love to know how I can switch these transactions to my checking or manually enter them (again) into the proper account, Thank you,
