I have put the wrong year in and reconcilled ? how do I change the year back?

Thank you for posting here on the Community page, bevc. Let me lay down some information about changing the date for your reconciled transaction for the month in QuickBooks Online.

If your reconciliation for the month is not done yet, we can edit its date by following the steps below:

1. Choose Accounting in the left panel and select the Reconcile tab.
2. Select the bank account from the Account drop-down list.
3. Tap the Resume reconciling button.
4. From the upper right-hand concern, click the Edit Info button.
5. Change the reconciliation year date from there.
6. Change the reconciliation year date from there.
7. Hit Save.

However, we can manually undo reconciled transactions at a time, to undo all the transactions, by clicking the R status. This way, all the transactions are removed from the reconciliation page. Once done, you need to reconcile your account again.

Follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Gear menu and click Chart Of Accounts.
2. Choose the bank account you want to un-reconcile and click the blue View Register hyperlink on that row.
3. Find and select the transaction you need to unreconciled.
4. Look in the column just to the right of the Deposit column. This column is the Reconciliation Status column.
5. To undo the reconciliation of this transaction, click the R (for reconciled) until the field is blank.
6. Click the green Save button.
7. Now find and select the transaction.
8. Click the blank or C (for Cleared) to R (Reconcile).
9. Click the green Save button.

Furthermore, we require assistance in reversing a reconciled transaction for the entire month or year, as we are currently unable to perform this action in QuickBooks Online. Only accountants have access to the necessary tools to undo the entire reconciliation.

Moreover, you will need an easy way to undo the reconciliation and change the year date if you have already concluded the process, only QuickBooks Online Accountant has the Undo feature. I would advise bringing your accountant in to undo the whole reconciliation period.

Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon in the upper right corner, and select Manage Users.
2. Go to the Accounting Firms tab, enter the accountant's email, and click the Invite button.
3. Hit Save.
4. Once invited, have your accountant undo the whole reconciliation.

If you need any additional help with reconciliation, ping me over. I'll always be available to assist.

For whatever it is worth, I followed the instructions and changed each transaction from R to C. Then, I went back in and reconciled and I am back on track. In my case, I accidentally selected 8/9/24 instead of 8/9/23, even though I only used transactions from 2023. Not sure exactly how this posting works, but hoping a 2nd example from someone may help someone else. Thank you.
