Adding old expenses without changing balance

Hello there, Allyssa.

Thanks for visiting and expressing your expenses concern to the Community. I'm here to guide you in correcting your expense account without affecting the bank balance in QuickBooks. 

We can enter the transaction using a journal entry to offset the one you've entered. I'd recommend consulting an accountant before performing this task.

Here's how: 

1. Click the + New button in the side menu.
2. Select Journal entry.
3. On the first line, select an account from the Account field whether you need to debit or credit the account. 
4. Enter the amount in the correct column.
5. On the next line, choose the other account you're moving money to or from. If you've entered Debit in the first line, select Credit to make it balance.
6. Ensure to enter the same amount in the Credit column on one line and the Debit column on the other.
7. Enter the details in the memo section to know why you made the journal entry, then select Save and new or Save and close.

Here are a few items you might find relevant for your business in the future:

• Reverse or delete a journal entry
• Run reports in QuickBooks Online
• Enter and manage expenses in QuickBooks Online

I'd be happy to assist you once more with QuickBooks expense corrections and other transaction-related issues.
