Hi there, Jay-M-21,
I'm here to help resolve the reconciliation discrepancy on your bank account in QuickBooks Desktop.
Since those transactions are deleted, you'll want to do a mini-reconciliation. This method uses an "off-cycle" reconciliation date to make a correction and balance the account.
To start, make you have the correct ending balance. Then, proceed to the following steps shown below to fix transactions in a bank account:
- Go to the Banking menu, then select Reconcile.
- Choose the bank account with the transactions you need to reconcile.
- In the Date of Statement field, enter date for an "off-cycle reconciliation." This date can be any date between your last reconciliation and the next scheduled one.
- When you enter an "off-cycle" date, QuickBooks will remind you that you're doing a mini reconciliation. This puts previously unreconciled transactions back without affecting the "cycle" that they follow.
- In the Ending Balance field, enter the balance of your last successful reconciliation, then click Continue.
- In the Reconcile window, check off the transactions you are fixing and re-reconciling.
- Make sure the Difference field shows $0.00.
- When everything looks good, select Reconcile Now.
For more details, check out the Fix issues when you're reconciling in QuickBooks Desktop.
Upon sharing this process, I still recommend consulting your accountant. He/She might have specific instructions on how to handle discrepancy on your books.
