Join nowDo you have any advice for me? The previous bookkeeper made $46K in changes to previously reconciled transactions causing my beginning balance to be of by some $32K. I'm lost.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi there, @WCorder.
Thanks for joining the Community. I'd be glad to get you pointed in the right direction. There are two options you can consider to fix an incorrect beginning balance in QuickBooks.
First, you can undo all reconciliation up until you reach the period where the discrepancy started and reconcile again. Let me route you to this article for the steps: How to unreconcile a transaction or undo a reconciliation.
Or you can ignore the difference and continue doing the reconciliation by entering an adjusting entry in QuickBooks. For this option, I'd recommend consulting your accountant first before making any adjustments. You can check out this article for more information: How to adjust a reconciliation.
You may also want to check out this helpful article for more information about online banking transactions and bank feeds: How to use Online Banking, Connect Bank Accounts, and Review your Bank Feed in QuickBooks Online.
Let me know if you have other questions about reconciling your transactions in QuickBooks. I'm here to help however I can.

Thank you! In researching the advice you made available to me, I saw somewhere that I could delete these adjusting entries. Since they are not trustworthy, I may do just that. I really am grateful for you support. That was very nice of you.
Thanks again,
Wade

Might you offer advice on how to remove transactions that have affected my bank balance? Can I show them to you somehow? Oh, look, I can paste the Previously Reconciled Discrepancy Report here. Yay. I just want to delete each item. Any advice? Thank you!

Can you point me in the right direction to reverse or delete the items in the Previously Reconciled Discrepancy Report? Here's a pic: - pic won't work. Previously, I attached a table; it was marked as spam.
Shoot.
Glad to have you back here in the Community, @WCorder.
Allow me to join this conversation and provide some details about deleting the items in the Previously Reconciled Discrepancy Report.
In QuickBooks Desktop, once a discrepancy is identified, you need to make the necessary corrections. To know the process of making the corrections, please consult your accountant for further assistance.
If you have new transactions to add to the reconciliation period or if you have modified previously reconciled transactions, you may need to do a mini reconciliation.
To learn more about fixing reconciliation discrepancies in QuickBooks Desktop, please check out this article: Fix Reconciliation Discrepancies.
However, if you need further help with this concern, feel free to reach out to our Customer Care Team. They have the proper tools to check on your transactions to better isolate this matter.
To do that:
This should get you on the right track @WCorder.
Keep me posted if there's anything else you need. I'll be around to help you out. Have a good one.
