Hi. I need help with my account. When we converted it to Quickbooks online last year, something weird happened with the Accounts Receivable. When you look at the Chart of Accounts it has a $0 balance but when I run a balance sheet there is a -$3220 balance. All of the journal entries were from a specific day with a weird system generated number. I tried deleting them and now the balance sheet is showing $0 but the chart of accounts is showing a positive $3220. How can I clear this balance? It should be $0 in both places.
You'll need to run the comparative trial balance report to find the differences. You will use Journal Entries to correct this.

Additionally, you can click on the specific entry in the register to trace the transactions causing the imbalance, review the details, and delete or adjust the entry if needed to correct the balances in the chart of accounts and the balance sheet.
Here's how:
