My bank account balance is showing up on my Balance Sheet as a negative number. It is a positive number. How do I fix this? It pulls the number from my bank. Thanks!

Hi, @farrahgauthier-g. Let me share some information why you're getting a negative bank balance.

A negative bank balance is usually a result of making payments or issuing checks that's larger than the amount of money in your account. I'd suggest checking its transaction report. This way, we can track all the transactions associated with your bank account.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Open your Balance Sheet report.
3. Modify the reporting period.
4. Click the amount of the bank account that shows up as a negative number. It will pull up its transaction report.
5. Click the small Gear icon.
6. Select the Debit and Credit boxes.
   
7. Click anywhere to refresh the page.

Review all the money-out transactions under the Credit column. You can also check out this article to see the complete list of available reports for your QuickBooks Online version: Reports.

Hello, @ CMO1.

We’re pleased to have you here in the QuickBooks Community. Let me help you in double-checking your report to correct a negative balance.

Normally, a negative bank balance is a result of making payments or issuing checks that’s larger than the amount of money in your account.

Also the data on the Balance sheet depends on how you set the filters.

Here’s what we can do to correct the negative balance on your report:

• Let’s make sure to have the correct report period.
• Then we’ll also make sure to check the accounting method, if it is Cash or Accrual.
• Check the box that says “Show unrealized gain or loss” so it will also appear on the report.

Here's an article If you need to further customize your report.
