Hello, mgraschke.

I can guide you in fixing the incorrect beginning balance.

You can run Reconcile Discrepancy or Audit Trail report to fix the incorrect balance. I'll show you how.

Here's how to run the Reconcile Discrepancy report:

1. Click the Reports menu, then select Banking.

2. Choose Reconciliation Discrepancy.

3. Select the appropriate Account, then hit OK.

4. You now have a list of transactions that were changed since the last reconciliation. Use this report to identify the transactions causing the issue.

5. If you find a discrepancy, note the transaction date and the Entered/Last Modified, which will tell you when the change occured.

Here's how to run the Audit Trail report:

1. Click the Reports menu, then select Banking.

2. Choose the Previous Reconciliation.

3. Select the appropriate account being reconciled.

4. Click the most recent statement date. Choose Transactions cleared at the time of reconciliation, then hit Display.

5. Note the statement and the reconciliation creation date.

6. Go to the Reports menu again, then select Accountant & taxes, and then Audit trail.

7. Set the Account filter to the account being reconciled.

8. Go to the Display tab and set the Date filter with the From field blank and the To date set to the statement date.

9. Select OK, then set the Entered/Modified filter with the From date set to the previous reconciliation creation date from the PDF, and the To field as today's date.

10. See if any of the transactions in the report can account for the discrepancy.

To correct the discrepancy, you need to re-enter or edit the transactions in QuickBooks Desktop.

You can review this guide for more info: Fix issues when you're reconciling in QuickBooks Desktop.
