How do I correct the statement ending date in the bank reconciliation. It should be dated 02/28/2021 but I erroneously dated it as 02/28/2022.

Let me provide some information about changing the incorrect statement ending date in the bank reconciliation, raf819. 

 

We can still change the ending date if you haven't completed the reconciliation. Just go back to the reconciliation page and change the Ending Balance and Ending Date. Here's how: 

  1. Go to Accounting on the left menu. 
  2. Click the Reconcile tab.
  3. Choose the bank account from the Account drop-down list.
  4. Tap the Resume reconciling button.
  5. Tick the Edit Info button located in the upper right-hand corner.
  6. Change the Ending Balance and Ending Date.
  7. Press Save.

 

If the reconciliation is already completed, the option to change the date is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Just undo the reconciled transactions by following the steps below: 

  1. Click Accounting at the left panel and choose Chart of Accounts.
  2. Locate the account for the transaction and click View register.
  3. Look for the transaction that you want to undo reconciliation.
  4. In the check column, repeatedly click the top line of the transaction until the box is blank. This removes the transaction from the reconciliation. 
  5. Press the Save button.

 

To learn more about this one, check out this article: Undo and remove transactions from reconciliations in QuickBooks Online. Once done, you can now start the reconciliation again and enter the correct ending date. Here's an article you can refer to for more details about reconciling an account in QuickBooks Online. Just in case QBO doesn't match your bank statement at the end of reconciliation, follow the steps in this article to troubleshoot the issue:  Fix issues when you're reconciling accounts in QuickBooks Online
