How do I fix errors in an Adjusted trial balance?

Hello there, @cyvelez. 

I'm here to help you fix errors in an adjusted trial balance. 

There are various reasons for an adjusted trial balance to fail. These are: 

• A transaction that is applied to the wrong account
• wrong totaling
• incorrect balancing of your accounts
• the wrong casting of your subsidiary books
• incorrect recording of the amount in your books of the original entry (journal)

I'd suggest you drill down all your transactions associated with each account. Ensure that the amounts are all correct. Here's how to review adjusting journal entries: 

1. Go to the Reports menu, then enter Adjusted Trial Balance in the search bar. 
2. Select Customize to adjust the report as needed.
3. Make sure the total debit balances equal the total credit balances.

I'd also suggest consulting an accountant for further guidance in using the adjusting journal entries tool to fix minor errors or record uncategorized transactions.

Good day. I'm here to guide you with a steps with adjusting the trial balance in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

With all the above mentioned issues by my colleague of the trial balance, you may run and refresh the reports with a date range in order to locate the specific transaction or a group of transactions that causing the issue. I'll show you how.

To begin with the process, you can run the Trial balance report in Accrual basis.
 

1. Go to the Reports menu, and run the Trial Balance report.
2. From the Accounting method section select Accrual.

Next, let's find the date when your trial balance went out of balance in order to locate the specific transaction or a group of transactions that causing the issues.
 

1. On Trial balance report that you open in Accrual basis, customize the Report period to All or any specific date you've chosen that you think there's a transactions in question.
2. Select Run report to save changes
3. After that, you may see if the total debit balances equal the total credit balances. If it's equal there's no transactions in question in that specific date.
4. You may try entering again another report period until you find out the date that went out of balances.

Once you find out the date when the issue started, you can now locate the transaction that causes the problem. To fix it, click on the amount of the transaction so you can edit it or delete it.

However, if you have clarification or unsure of the process, I recommend you reach out with your accountant. That way they can share some tips and advices on what to do with your account to ensure the accuracy of your books. Also, your accountant know what's best for your business. If you’re not affiliated with one, you can check our ProAdvisor page and we’ll help find one from there.
