Join nowI'm reconciling our saving account but the interest won't allow a $0 balance (QBO). How can I handle this? Thank you in advance.
Let me help reconcile your savings account in QuickBooks, tinalarkin.
Aside from the interest entry, you need to check if there are missing transactions or duplicates that won't make the balance to zero.
You need to compare each entry from the bank statement with the ones you have in QuickBooks. Doing this will make sure the saving account is balanced and accurate.
During the reconciliation process, go through your accounts in QuickBooks line-by-line, checking that individual item amounts and aggregate totals match what's on your bank statement.
Do this until the difference between the QuickBooks account and your bank statement(s) is $0. To prevent incorrect balance, you need to record transactions as they occur in real-time. Then, reconcile accounts frequently.
You also need to review the opening balance if you're reconciling for the first time. The amount should match your real-life savings account.

I appreciate your respond, but I dont think its helpful or maybe I do not understand, as im new to QBO, for it to be helpful. I attached what im looking at in QBO. i dont have anything to "blue check" to get to $0 difference/balance. the physical statement mentions a few cents (deposited interest) and I see that language in the register. Im sure this is a simple click of something, but what? If I change the ending balance then it won't match the next month's statement. I've done 6mths on reconciling already and all $0, and now this statement is new for me. I'm frustrated and may consider direct assistance.
