reconciliation Problem

I have an issue. I started reconciling my credit card statement for April. I finished my reconciliation for March and my ending balance was correct and when I originally started my April rec, my opening balance matched the March ending balance. Now it does not. 

When I check the credit card account register it shows the right opening balance and my balance sheet show also the right amount but the credit card reconciliation beginning balance for April is off.

Credit card register and balance sheet shows $ 38946.94 which is correct and reconciliation shows $ 37049.72 as a beginning balance.

How do i fix that?

Quickbooks online is what I am using.

 

Thank you

Good day, @nathalie-empire2.

 

Thanks for sharing the details of your concern. Let me help you fix your reconciled account so we can match it with your bank statement. 

 

Based on what you've shared, the amount in your beginning balance is lesser than what you expect. It's possible that some of your transactions aren't included in your past reconciliation. 

 

Let's make sure you entered everything into QuickBooks. If your accounts are connected to online banking, review and categorize all of your downloaded transactions. You can't reconcile them until you do.

 

Then, review the list of transactions in the Reconciliation window. If one of them is on your bank statement but isn't in QuickBooks, you can enter them as new sales receipts or expenses.

 

It's also possible that a transaction was on a previous bank statement but wasn't on the past reconciliation. Check the transaction date and review your bank statements for that time period. Then, take note of the date and amount of the transaction. If you find a missing one, you can manually change its reconciliation status. Here's how:

 

 

  1. Go to Bookkeeping and select Chart of accounts.
  2. Find the account you’re reconciling and click View register.
  3. Find the transaction and select it to expand the view.
  4. If the box in the checkmark column is blank or has a C, make sure the transaction is accurate.
  5. Select the box in the checkmark column until you see an R. If there's already an R in the checkmark column, leave it alone.
  6. When you're done, click Save.

Once your accounts are balanced, you can finish reconciling.
