Reconciling a past year after the accountant closed out the year

Good day, @sbradysfv1.

Let me share some information on how QuickBooks handles your newly-entered journal entries.

Yes, you'd want to perform a mini reconciliation for each period that is impacted by the journal entry you've created. Also, make sure to do it in chronological order, otherwise, your beginning balances get messed up. Here's how:

1. Go to the Banking menu.
2. Choose Reconcile.
3. Select the bank account with the transactions you need to reconcile.
4. In the Date of Statement field, enter the date for an "off-cycle reconciliation."
5. In the Ending Balance field, enter the balance of your last successful reconciliation.
6.  
7. Click Continue.
8. From the Reconcile window, check off the transactions you are fixing and re-reconciling.
9. Make sure the Difference field shows $0.00.
10. When everything looks good, select Reconcile Now.

Also, it best to reconcile your 2019 transactions first. This way, it will no longer show up in the reconciliation window. You can read through these articles to learn more about the reconciliation process in QuickBooks:
