Credit Card Reconciliation issue

Hello there, @Doris78.

I'll make sure you can get rid of the unnecessary amounts recorded on your miscellaneous payables in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to keep your financial data accurate.

There are two options to clear your miscellaneous payables. First is to make sure you track and record all of your expenses to the correct account. To do this, let's pull up the affected transaction(s) ($3,388.81) through your chart of accounts. Here's how:

1. Go to the Lists menu 
2. Select Chart of Accounts.
3. Choose the account (miscellaneous payables) where the transactions are posted to open the register.
4. Locate the $3,388.81 amount and correct its associated account.

The second option is to create a journal entry. This will transfer the $3,388.81 amount from your miscellaneous payables to the appropriate category. Before doing so, I encourage you to consult your accountant. They may have specific instructions on how to handle the said transaction and provide expert advice tailored to your business needs.

Also, I encourage you to reconcile your accounts in QBDT regularly (every month). This helps monitor your income and expense transactions and detect possible errors accordingly. You may want to check out this article as your reference to guide you in doing and fixing reconciliations in QBDT: Learn the reconcile workflow in QuickBooks.

Please feel free to leave a comment below if you have other concerns about managing checks and other expense transactions in QBDT. I'm always ready to help. Take care, @Doris78.

I do reconcile my accounts every month.

If I try to do as you suggest, it tells me the following:

"You have changed the account for a transaction that has already been reconciled. If you record your changes the transaction will no longer be reconciled and the reconciliation balance for the original account will be affected. You should not proceed unless you are in the process of correcting a reconciliation problem. Do you wish to record your changes." 

I cannot do a journal entry. I have a negative in Accounts Payable and a positive balance in Miscellaneous Payable for the exact same amount and need to correct that. If I put in a journal entry, it wants a vendor.

I appreciate you taking the time to share this, @Doris78.
