Reconciliation Dilemma!!!

Our Banking was reconciled through the year (2020), our accountant reviewed our P & L and balance sheet and requested changes. One of those was regarding Checking Reserve transfers and Payments (we had them as 2 separate accounts). He wants them to zero out but for some reason we can't seem to get there. We accounted for the interest (bank fees). It just seems like every time we try to fix something we make it worse. I'm not sure how to even word my question because I'm so confused! For some reason, when I try to make the changes, in banking it shows the payment being a transfer and vise versa... How can we amend this? We have undone, voided, edited, etc and it still shows up and just keeps getting worse! Help!!! Any help at all would be so GREATLY appreciated! If you have any questions, since I'm sure this is totally confusing to read (LOL) let me know! Thank you!

Reconciliation Dilemma!!!

My first thought is that the accountant works for you and he should be the one explaining what to do, but...

 

From what I understand, money that moves from the checking account to the reserve account, and visa versa are transfers.  Payments should only be made from the checking account.

 

I'm not sure what he means by zero out.  But as I see it, a transfer from reserve to checking should zero out when put against the payment.  In other words do not transfer more than the payment to be made.

Reconciliation Dilemma!!!

Thanks so much for your help. I attached a couple screenshots to give you an idea of our main problem(s). (This is 2020 we're dealing with now) We were reconciled through 2020 then we went back to change a few things and screwed it all up. Now we are off by @$46,000! Every time we try to correct an error we just seem to make it worse. Do you think we should unreconcile the months containing these transactions or the whole year? We pulled up the log (see screenshot) but aren't exactly sure how to analyze it. This was our first year using QBO. We have watched many many videos and have searched for help but are just at a total loss. I hope this makes sense and you are able to see what our problem is. We will be so grateful for any guidance at all  you can give us! Thank you!!2021-02-08 (2).png
