Chase Cannot Reconcile with Employee Card

Hi!

I have a Chase credit card with an employee card. It reports transactions in each master/employee cards, but in the master monthly statement, it includes both cards transaction. How do I reconcile?

I need to connect the employee account to get the transactions, but cannot add it to the master card account as a sub-account because both accounts are already connected (it gets error out.)

I've been reading a couple of Q&As but didn't solve my problem. Anyone has Chase credit cards seeing the same issue?

 

Thanks!

Chase Cannot Reconcile with Employee Card

I've got you covered on how to reconcile a Chase credit card with an employee card in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

We need to know how your bank sends the downloaded transactions before connecting to online banking. If the transactions download to one account, just connect only the parent account. Then we connect the subaccounts and not the parent account if the transactions download to the individual accounts.

 

We can’t connect both a parent account and its subaccounts. If you try to connect both, you’ll get a message that the account is already connected. When initially connecting your account, the same opening balance transaction may download to all subaccounts. You must delete all but one of these balances when you reconcile.

 

Some banks may show the overall bank balance at each subaccount level. The bank provides us with a static balance of the entire account, not the balance of each subaccount. When it’s time to reconcile, you only need to reconcile the parent account because all transactions in the subaccounts roll up into it. You can check this page to learn more about bank account connectivity to QBO: About bank or credit card subaccount setup

 

If you are experiencing issues with mismatched balances, you may find further assistance by reading these articles.

Thanks for the reply! However, it still doesn't solve my problem. Chase shows employee and primary transactions separately under each account, so I had to connect both to get the transaction history. But in the monthly statement, which is used for reconcilation, the primary account statement includes both employee transactions and primary account transactions. 

How do I do it in this scenario?

Thank you for raising your reconciliation concern here in the Community, hsinihsu.

 

Maintaining proper tracking of downloaded transactions is vital for a well-organized financial record and efficient reconciliation. Allow me to guide you through the steps of setting up your credit card accounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO) to ensure a smooth reconciliation experience.

 

In addition to what my colleague suggested, let's add the Chase credit card as the parent account while the master or employee cards are sub-accounts. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon ⚙ in the upper right and select Chart of accounts.
  2. Tap the New button, depending on your account view, you’ll either see a panel labeled New account or New category
  3. Choose the option you see in the Add a new account section of this article to complete the procedure: Add an account to your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online

Next, let's proceed and add the sub-accountsThen, connect them to the bank feed. Also, inform the account owner to contact the Financial Institution (FI) to add an authorized user

 

Once transactions are downloaded, categorize them into the right account. When reconciling, only reconcile the parent account as all subaccount transactions are rolled up into it.

 

In case you come across an online banking connection problem, check out the solution outlined in this article for the complete guide: Troubleshoot Chase Bank connection issue in QuickBooks Online.

 

Moreover, these resources will provide you with guidance on handling missing downloaded entries and expediting the categorization process. Be sure to open each link for in-depth information about the process:
