Reconciling

Hello, I've never experienced this before, but while trying to reconcile my Bank of America CC I've checked all the charges, payments and credits correctly. But It's showing I'm off by over $13,000 !!! The statement only has 2 payments but at the top of the screen QB says there are 4 payments. ??? I think this is where the problem is, but I have no idea what to do to fix this. Why is it wrong, how do I fix this? Thank you!

Thank you for providing such comprehensive details regarding your reconciliation issue, @Destinysund. It appears that there are some duplicate entries or payment transactions within your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account. I’m here to assist you in addressing this matter so that you can ensure your financial records are accurate and up-to-date.

 

Since you've indicated there are only two payments listed on your bank statement, while QuickBooks is displaying four payments, let's check if there are any duplicate transactions recorded within the program.

 

To start, kindly follow these steps:

 

  1. Navigate to the Payments tab within your reconciliation window.
  2. You can carefully review the entries to see if there are any duplicates or inaccuracies that are currently marked with a checkmark.
  3. The payment transactions in QuickBooks should match those listed on your bank statement, so ensure those that have checkmarks are those that correspond correctly.
  4. Uncheck those entries that are not on your bank statement.
  5. If there are duplicate entries marked as checked, you can select the specific transaction to expand its view. Click on Edit to be directed to the transaction window, then select More to manually delete it.
  6. Once the Difference amount is zero, you can complete the reconciliation process by clicking Finish now.

Additionally, once bank transactions are downloaded into QuickBooks, please be aware that you'll have the option to directly match them with the corresponding transactions you’ve already entered. There’s no need to create a new transaction, as doing so could lead to duplicate entries in your records.

 

Further, you can perform the steps to successfully close out your previous fiscal year and get ready for the upcoming one in QBO. This process will help you ensure that your financial records are accurate and organized as you transition into the new fiscal year.
