New bank account, help

I opened a new bank account due to losing a check. I ended keeping both accounts. I transferred several amounts between the new and old one. Now that I’m reconciling the accounts it seems like a mess. How do I make the transfers show up on my reconciliation to check off? I’m guessing I have to create a new bank account too which I didn’t do. Any help is appreciated.

New bank account, help

It's a pleasure to have you here, @Tacotruck89

 

Yes, you'll need to create a new bank account in the Chart of Accounts. This way, there will be documented transfers of funds within QuickBooks.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Lists menu, then choose Chart of Accounts.
  2. From the Account ▼dropdown, click New.
  3. Choose an account type, then click Continue.
  4. Complete the account details.
  5. Once done, select Save & Close.

 

For additional information about managing your accounts in QuickBooks, please review this resource: Add, edit, or delete accounts in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Then, you can transfer the funds from the old to the new account. 

 

I've also attached an article to help you reconcile your accounts so they match your bank and credit card statements: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Keep in touch if you have other questions about managing your bank accounts inside QuickBooks. I'll be around to assist you again. Have a pleasant day!

Hope you’re doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about the new bank account concern you had the other day. Was it resolved? Do you need any additional help or clarification? If you do, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you at any time.

 

Looking forward to your reply. Have a pleasant day ahead!
