Why is my retained earnings showing a incorrect number?

I can help you edit your Retained Earnings balance, @cindylou230.

 

You can create a journal entry to update the Retained Earnings balance. You'll need to get an accountant's advice when creating this because it can affect your financial reports and books.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the + New button and select Journal Entry.
  2. Provide all the necessary information about this journal entry. 
  3. Click on Save once you're done. 

 

I'll be sharing some related links about Retained Earnings account and how it works in QBO. Check the following articles:

 

That's it. If you have any other questions or would like me to clarify anything else about updating your Retained Earning account, let me know. I am always glad to help in any way I can.​ Have a good day.
