How do I make a journal entry for uncleared checks?

What if the check is from 2017 and no one caught it until now? The expense account used is no longer active and the accounts have been reconciled since then.

How do I make a journal entry for uncleared checks?

Thanks for joining us here, SHELLY30. We want to make sure that we provide the right details and steer you into the direction since this involves prior years financial data.

 

Can you tell us which specific steps in the thread you're referring to? Can you also tell us what version of QuickBooks you're using?

 

Please know that any entries made to a closed book or period can alter your financial reports for that period, such as your Profit and Loss statements or Balance Sheet. Subsequently, it would also change the ending and beginning balances of the succeeding reconciliations. Because of this, we recommend reaching out to an accountant before making changes to a closed period in QBO.

 

Aside from that, you would also need to enter a password before any entries can be saved. You can read more details about editing closed periods in this article: Edit your closed books in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please reply back to us to share more details. The Community is always here if you need anything else.
