Let me help you trace where this discrepancy is coming from, @trtexcavation.
We can run a Previous Reconciliation Report in QuickBooks Desktop. This way, we can find out why the beginning balance is still showing the same amount after you reconcile it. Here's how:
- Go to the Reports menu and select Banking. Then, click Previous Reconciliation.
- From the Account drop-down menu, select the account you reconciled.
- In the Statement Ending Date section, select the reconciliation period you want to review.
- Select Detailed or Both for the report type. We recommend Detailed if you're using the report to fix a reconciliation.
- Select which transactions you want to see on the report.
- Click Display.
To get more info and narrow in on specific details, you can customize this report.
You can also run a Reconciliation Discrepancy report. This report shows any transactions that were changed since your last reconciliation. Just follow these steps:
- Click the Reports menu and select Banking. Then click Reconciliation Discrepancy.
- Select the account you're reconciling and then click OK.
- Review the report. Look for any discrepancies.
In addition, I've also added an article on how to fix beginning balance issues in QuickBooks Desktop.
