It's nice to see you here in the Community, @usertleeka. I'll help you fix your reconciliation report in QuickBooks.

 

You'll want to check your Payroll preference and update your payroll accounting settings to ensure that the reconciliation report will show as the net pay amount on paychecks instead of the total cost. From there, you can customize how you track your payroll wages, taxes, deductions, and company contributions to your chart of accounts to meet your accounting needs.

 

Follow the steps below to update your payroll accounting settings.

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon , then Payroll settings.
  2. Click Edit ✎ next to Accounting.
  3. At the bottom of that page, click the pencil to Update Existing Transactions.
  4. Set the date 1 day before the first transaction with the issue.
  5. Click Update.
  6. Then check to make sure the existing transactions have been corrected.

 

For more details about the process, see this article: Change your accounting preferences in QuickBooks Online Payroll. Once done, run the reconciliation report and check its total amount. For complete steps on how to view, print, or export a report, see this article: How do I view, print, or export a reconciliation report?
