Join nowI just started with a small family owned company as their bookkeeper. When I started, the checkbooks hadn't been reconciled since 2019. I have since brought them up to date and they balance. However, there are old deposits from 2015 still sitting in my checkbook. I have checked the income accounts, accounts receivable and cash accounts and I see these transact there and undeposited funds is zero. How do I can get these out of my checkbook?
It's great to see you here, @NicWP9378,
You can do an off-cycle reconciliation to make corrections to a previously reconciled account. This includes cleared transactions that were unchecked (uncleared) in the account register.
Here's how:
Please note that the end balance after the reconciliation becomes the beginning balance of the following cycle. If the new entries did not change the Ending Balance of the account, you no longer need to undo the reconciliation for the following period. Do otherwise if it does.
To learn more about the off-cycle reconciliation and how it works, see this article: Reconcile previously deleted and re-entered checking or credit card transactions
Let me know if you have additional questions or clarifications about the special reconciliation steps. I'll be right here if you need anything. Have a nice day!
My difference won't be zero though. I only need to clear old deposits so there's nothing to off set them.
I have a very similar thing--i took over and the bank account in QB is negative a lot -- but the bank reconciliations have been done over the years -- they just keep pushing through with it wrong. I dont want to go back 4 years (or however long) Is there a way to make a journal entry and just bring it up to match?
Hi, @Carnetcars.
I'm here to help you with fixing your bank's reconciliation.
Yes, you may create a journal entry to adjust the discrepancies of your transactions. However, I would recommend seeking assistance from a professional accountant for proper accounting and posting of each account or amount. To record a journal entry in QuickBooks Desktop:
