Reconciliation is not balancing-beginning & ending balance and transactions are all correct

I am having issues with reconciliation. My beginning balance and my ending balance are correct. Every single transaction is correct and selected. However there is still a difference of -$0.50. I have figured out the issue is within the payments section- since the deposit amount matches my bank statement. I have redone the reconciliation three times. I have cleared all filters and reviewed all payments. There are no other transactions prior or after statement ending date that are selected. I also filtered the payments to find the difference as well. Any other advice? Would it be advisable to create a journal entry and categorize the 50 cent difference to a reconciliation discrepancy? I am using QuickBooks Online.

Reconciliation is not balancing-beginning & ending balance and transactions are all correct

I have some ways on how to fix the reconciliation discrepancies, ngranados.

 

The -0.50 cents reconciliation difference may be due to the following:

  • Someone entered an incorrect ending balance at the start of the reconciliation.
  • Someone entered transactions into QuickBooks that haven't cleared your bank yet.
  • There are missing or duplicate transactions in QuickBooks.

You can create journal entry. However, it's best to consult with your account to make sure everything is recorded accordingly. Also, you can force reconcile to resolve the difference.

Thank you for your response. However, I have verified all of that already and everything is correct. Statement ending balance is correct, there are no duplicate entries nor are there any errors. However it still days there is a difference.

Thank you! However all the items you listed I verified and are not the issue. All the payment amounts match and are accounted for. It should have zero out but the difference is still showing. I redid the reconciliation 3x already too

Thanks for getting back to us, @ngranados.

 

Appreciate the info and the steps you did to verify the reconciliation balance. You'll want to consult your accountant to help review the balance of the account since you've already verified and matched your account. This way, your accountant will have to advise on what to do with the amount.

 

Meanwhile, I recommend contacting our Customer Care Support so we can assist you further in checking the difference and creating a ticket for you if the issue is within the program.
