I have found several entries that i actually recorded twice for 2020. These amounts i have deducted from my balance, and because they were duplicates, they should not have been..... i need to add the amounts back to my balance but i have already made an acct copy for the cpa, so I cannot just void them. Can i make JE and just reverse them?

Yes, you can, @Michele54.


You can create a journal entry to reverse the amounts. While doing this task, I’d recommend contacting your CPA for assistance. They can give you advice to ensure books remain accurate.


Here are the steps to do it:

 

  1. Go to the Company menu and select Make General Journal Entries.
  2. Fill out the fields and make sure your debits equal your credits when you’re done.
  3. Select Save & Close.
