I'm delighted to assist you in recovering your past transactions, dcupery.
When you disconnect your bank from QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE), all your transactions and any special calculations will be permanently deleted.
To restore the old entries, you'll need to export them from your bank and then import them into QBSE using your laptop or desktop. Even if your bank doesn't have specific instructions for QBSE, as long as you download your transactions as a CSV, you can proceed.
Follow these steps:
Export transactions from your bank
- Log in to your bank's website.
- Follow your bank's instructions to download your transactions as a CSV file. Look for a button or link on your account page.
- Set the date range for at least one day before the oldest transaction in the account in QB.
- Follow any onscreen steps to complete the download.
Import the transactions
- Open QBSE in a web browser.
- Navigate to the Gear icon and select Import transactions.
- Look for the account you want to add transactions to and click Import older transactions.
- Browse to the file on your computer. It's usually in your Downloads folder.
- Choose the file and select Open to start the import.
- Verify that the Date, Description, and Amount columns on the CSV match the columns and order in QB. The other column headers can be in any order.
- Click Continue to finish the import.
- Hit OK.

You'll then be redirected to the Transactions page, where you can review them and check for duplicates.
