finding all transactions of checking all the way from prior to having quickbooks

Unless when you started QB you entered all transactions up to that point, you can not report on what is not in the data file.

Good morning, @Eli18. 

Congrats on making your first post here in the Community. I appreciate you coming here with your question about your transactions in your QuickBooks account. 

When setting up your bank account within your QuickBooks account, there was an option to bring over a certain amount of transactions. Therefore, if you don't have transactions of before starting your company in QuickBooks, then there won't be any. With that being said, here are two articles that can help you add those transactions into your account depending on which QuickBooks you currently use: 

• Import and export data in QuickBooks Desktop

• Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online

Feel free to reach back out if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm always here to lend a helping hand. Best wishes!
