C is Cleared and would be from accepting a green match in the Review screen.

 

R is Reconciled and means you have completed a reconciliation that includes that cleared item.

 

Double entries usually happen when you have entered a transaction manually and then Add from Review instead of matching. Dates are different because the bank feed dates are when a transaction clears. The proper date is the actual transaction date. Example. You write a check on 4/30 but it does not clear your bank until 5/5. The correct date is 4/30 and by adding from the feed instead of actual entry by date you have posted expenses in the wrong month

Thanks so very much for the very clear and understandable answer.   It is easy to remember and now if I have to delete one of them because of a double entry, I know which one to delete.    Thanks again.

How do you stop the C from automatically showing up once I have matched transactions from the bank?
