My reconciliation(s) seem to be all messed up. Can I undo all previous bank reconciliations, unlink my bank accounts, and do manual bank reconciliations each month? How?

It's possible to undo bank reconciliation, unlink accounts, and reconcile manually. I'm here to help you through the process, tinalscott.

 

You can only un-reconcile transactions one at a time. If you need to start over, your accountant can undo the entire period using QuickBooks Online for Accountants. Here's a guide for your accountant on how to undo a client’s reconciliation in QuickBooks Online Accountant. Once done, you can reconcile your accounts once again. 

 

If you don't have an accountant or prefer to do it yourself, you can manually unreconcile a reconciled statement one by one.

 

Here are the steps: 

 

  1. Select Chart of accounts from Settings
  2. Look for the account that has the reconciled transaction and click on View register.
  3. Select the transaction to expand the view.
  4. Proceed to the checkmark ✔ column, and click the box with the “R” until the box is blank. This removes the transaction from the reconciliation.
  5. Click on Save and then close the register.

  3. Click on the pencil  con, then opt for Edit account information.
  4. Tick the checkbox for Disconnect this account on save.
  5. Select Save and Close.
