Can i unlink my bank account from quick books?

Best answer by JasroV

You certainly can, @Eric R.
 

I'd be delighted to walk you through the steps of unlinking your bank account from QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

 

Before we begin, you'll want to ensure you've categorised your transactions in the For review tab. Unlinking your bank account deletes all transactions that need to be categorised in the For review tab. 

 

Once ready, you can follow along with these steps on how to unlink or disconnect your bank in QBO:

 

  1. Go to the Banking or Transactions menu.
  2. Click the Banking tab and select the tile for your bank account.
  3. Select the pencil icon, then click Edit account info.
  4. Click the Disconnect this account on save checkbox.
  5. Select Save and Close.

 

You can also see this article for the complete details: Disconnect accounts connected to online banking in QuickBooks Online.

 

In case you need to reconnect your account in QBO, please refer to this resource for guidance: Connect your bank feeds using Open Banking.

 

I'll be around if you need more help managing your bank and accounts in QBO. Keep safe and have a dazzling day ahead!

Disconnecting your online banking account in QuickBooks won't change any existing accounting data and transactions in your company file, Jaime. Let me provide input when managing these entries.

 

In QuickBooks Online, disconnected accounts from online banking will stop downloading their new transactions and delete the entries that still need to be categorised.

 

However, the existing accounting data in your file will remain unchanged, and you can reconnect it at any time to start downloading the transactions again. Thus, they'll remain intact and stay on your financial reports since they rely on each other to stay balanced and accurate when filing your taxes.

 

Here's an article you can visit for more detailed information: Disconnect accounts connected to online banking in QuickBooks Online.

 

Additionally, it's recommended to perform monthly account reconciliations to ensure the transactions in your records correspond to those in your bank statement.

 

I'm always available on this forum if you require additional assistance managing online bank transactions and data reports in your account. Stay safe and have a great weekend ahead!
