I reconciled our credit card and entered a payment into Quickbooks.  We did a refund and the credit card company used that amount as a payment against the balance.  So when the actual payment was deducted, it was less than what we reconciled.  How do we correct this

Thanks for reaching out to us in the Community space, BillFitz.

 

I'd like to share some steps to help you with the transactions.

 

If you want to edit the reconciled transaction, you'll want to undo the previous reconciliation. Before doing so, please create a back up copy of your company file

 

Then, follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to Banking Reconcile.
  2. In the Begin Reconciliation window, select Undo Last Reconciliation.
  3. When prompted, click Continue then OK.
  4. Close and reopen the Begin Reconciliation window.

Once done, update the refund and add the amount deducted from your credit card company. Then, reconcile the account again. Here's an article for the instructions: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If you're unsure about making any changes on the past reconciled transactions, or what account to use when adding the deduction, please reach out to your accountant. The process can get tricky and they know how to handle the next steps. Don't have an accountant? We can help you find one.

 

I'll re-share these articles to help you fix and manage the reconciliation balance:
