So when I am making bank deposits at the top there are 6 items that I would like to clear up off the list.

Any suggestions to the best way of doing this without affecting prior years that are closed?

Thanks Lisa

Good day, Lisa.

 

Thank you for adding a screenshot. It gives me a visual representation of your concerns.

 

You can delete the transactions manually, so they will be removed on the Bank Deposit page. Before doing so, I'd suggest reaching out to your accountant so they can guide you on the best action without messing up the recording.

 

Here's how to delete them:

 

  1. On the Bank Deposit page, click the (Name not specified) hyperlink.
  2. You'll be routed to the transactions page.
  3. On the transaction, click More.
  4. Select Delete.
  5. Hit Yes.

 

Repeat the steps to the other transactions.

 

If you want to review past bank deposits, you can click this article: Manage bank deposits.

 

Feel free to get back to this thread if you have banking-related concerns.

Yikes.  That first entry is scary.  A $35K transfer into undeposited funds?  What account did that money come from and where is the money?  If $35K was transferred out of an account, it should have been put into a different account or spent and both sides of that should have been reconciled. Was the other side (transfer out) reconciled?  If so, where did the money end up because it's obviously not outstanding 3.5 years later.

 

The other items all appear to be journal entries from undeposited funds and look like adjustments made when reconciling so, presumably, the other side of those entries is a bank or cc account.  You will need to adjust them in 2022 with a journal entry.  To remove them from undeposited funds, you will credit undeposited funds.  The difficult part is determining which account(s) to debit.  You can debit 'Ask My Accountant' to get them out of undeposited funds temporarily, but that just kicks the can down the road and someone will need to figure it out eventually.  There's a reason the accounts were off back in 2019 and, since you are looking for the accounts to debit, that means that the business probably either overstated income or understated expenses back in 2019 and, therefore, may have overpaid taxes as well.  So, it's in the business's best interest to figure it out or contact the company's CPA to determine what is best.
