Reconciling when bank is linked to a sub-account.

Transitioning to QB online from desktop. My main account is broken into two sub-accounts.  It's just an easy way for me to separate my daily expenses from things like sales tax liabilities.  I have always had it this way and I don't want to change it.  It works for me.  Anyway, I have my bank linked to on of the sub-accounts.  When I set it up, it asked if it was a sub-account, so since it asked, I thought reconciliation was not going to be a problem.  I tried to reconcile my parent account today and it won't do it without an account linked to it.  The account is linked to the sub-account.  Any solutions?

So, after some thought, I think I might know what I need to do.  I think I need to disconnect my bank account from the sub-account and reconnect it to my parent account.  When my transactions com through, I just match them to the appropriate sub-account, right?  Then I can reconcile the parent account.  Does the QB community agree?

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts here in the Community forum, @Artisan3092.

 

Yes, the steps that you've taken are correct. You did the right thing by disconnecting the sub-accounts and only reconnecting the parent account.

 

Moving forward, ensure that all transactions are matched in the correct category and that duplicate transactions are excluded. This will ensure accurate accounting and prevent any discrepancies in your financial records.
