Reconciliation

Hello QBO Community...

 

A previous treasurer reconciled up to a certain date and there are discrepancies. Ideally, I would like to go back and re-reconcile everything, but I think that is a big no-no since we've already reported on our returns. I want our Bank Account and QBO account to be balanced so we can get the "$0.00 prize." According to our CPA, we should, "enter in a single journal entry to prior period adjustment against cash, and clear that adjusting entry in the reconciliation process." My questions are...

1) Can I have an accountant undo our reconciliation so that I can go back and correct all the errors WITHOUT changing the reporting that was on the returns? My guess is since there were errors that need to be fixed, that will definitely change the amounts that were reported.

2) How do I fix this by adding the journal entry he mentioned? Step by step...

 

Thank you in advance for all your help and consideration.

Reconciliation

Hello, @RealtorRyan1.

 

I can share some information on how to fix your reconciliation.

 

Using a QuickBooks Online Accountant (QBOA) account, your accountant can undo an entire reconciliation.

 

You can send them the following article for detailed guidance: Undo a client’s reconciliation in QuickBooks Online Accountant.

 

In case they don’t have a QBOA subscription, you can edit or undo an individual transaction from a completed reconciliation. You can do it from your register. 

 

Here's how to unreconcile the transaction:

 

  1. Go to the Accounting menu and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Select the account where these transactions are and click View register
  3. Click the transaction you want to unreconcile to expand the view.
  4. Select the checkbox. This changes the letter in the box. Keep selecting it until the box is blank. This removes the transaction from the reconciliation.
  5. Click on Save once you’re done. 

 

For more information in fixing reconciliation errors, refer to this article: Undo or remove transactions from reconciliations in QuickBooks Online.

 

If your accountant suggested you enter a journal entry, I can show you how to add one. However, you can ask them for guidance with the best category or accounts to use for your debit and credit. 

 

To create the journal entry:

 

  1. Go to the + New button and select Journal Entry.
  2. On the Journal date, enter the paycheck date.
  3. Enter your debit and credit entries
  4. Click on Save once you're done.
