Join nowI am filling in temporarily for the treasurer at our church. I was told I can't reconcile unless I have a printer connected to the laptop!! Is this true? It is a 2014 version of QuickBooks.
Hello, @temptreas.
You'll only need a printer when you're going to print reports or transactions from your QuickBooks Desktop account.
Here's how to reconcile your accounts:
Check this article for more information: Reconcile bank and credit card accounts. Also, here's how to fix issues when you're reconciling in QuickBooks Desktop.
Let me know if there's anything that you need in reconciling your accounts. I'm always here to assist. Keep safe and have a wonderful day!
I sent the following early this morning...
Thanks for the info. Over the phone, before her husband died, we had reconciled the month of March, but she warned me not to complete the reconciliation without a printer hooked up. This surprised me, but having never used QuickBooks what could I say? So what reports are produced automatically, if any, when one clicks on Reconcile Now? Or where will I find those reports if they don't print at that point?
Thanks, Bill
Thanks for getting back to us, temptreas.
After clicking the Reconcile Now button, you'll have an option to Display, Print or Close the reconciliation reports. QuickBooks will generate the Reconciliation Detail and the Reconciliation Summary reports after the reconciling an account.
You can always go back to these reports for you to review and print the data. Here's how to do it:
From there, you can print the report.
We'll be right here if you have more queries about the reports. Have a great day!
Are these reports saved as a file somewhere that I can then copy to a thumb drive to send to the council president so he can print them for the monthly meeting?

I assume I could use the same steps to save the detailed report as well?
Also, the council gets a report titled "Profit and Loss Budget vs Actual". How is that generated?? I can't find any such report in the Reports menu. Thanks again, Bill
Yes, you're right, Bill. You can use the same steps to save a detailed report.
Regarding the Profit and Loss Budget vs Actual report, I'll walk you through on how to pull it up:
You can memorize the report if you want the same settings to be available for future use.
If there's anything else that you need, please feel free to let us know.
