Here's an overview of my situation:
1. I manually imported bank checking account transactions as my client hadn't connected bank feeds yet.
2. Afterwards, I connected the bank checking account to the bank feeds in QBO. There are now 2 checking accounts in QBO - the same checking account: one manually created, the other automatically created via the bank feed connection.
3. I deleted the manually important bank transactions and made the manually created bank account inactive.
4. When running a balance sheet report for January, the inactive, manually created bank account shows up with "(deleted)" next to it with a balance of $8,259.38.
5. Running a balance sheet for February does not show the deleted/inactive account.
6. The Opening Balance Equity account shows:
Date | Type | Payee Acct | Increase | Decrease | Balance |
02/07 | Check | Chase (deleted) | $8,259.38 | $8,259.38 | |
01/01 | Deposit | BUS CHK | $8,259.38 | $16, 518.76 | |
01/01 | Deposit | Chase (deleted) | $8,259.38 | $8,259.38 |
Question: How do I get the deleted account from showing up in the January balance sheet? Is it because I didn't move out the opening balance to retained earnings? This is for an S-corp. Thank you.

Hi Morgan,
Thanks for your response. I tried another step that seems to have worked. Could you check if this is acceptable?
I saw the date for the check automatically created by QBO to zero out the manually created bank account was dated for 02/07. So I reactivated the account, changed the date of the check to 1/31, then deactivated it again. Now it doesn't show in the January reports. Is this a viable alternative?
Thanks.
Good evening, @JTofu.
Thanks for coming back and giving us some additional details.
Yes, this should be acceptable. However, please make sure with your accountant that changing the date was right for you business.
Feel free to reach back out if you have any other questions. Have a great day!
