Bank cleraed the wrong amount for a check. How do I fix this?

Hi,

I was adding bank transactions and one came in that is 10 cents more than what I wrote the check out to be. I wrote the check out for 10,312.27 and the bank cleared it for 10,312.37. Ugh!

I have not "added" because it does not match anything. How do I fix this? The check I wrote was to pay for two bills so it is a split check. 

Thank you for any help and guidance!

Hello, tiffanyh72.  

 

QuickBooks Online is dependent on the transactions on your bank account. That said, to correct an improperly recorded bank transaction in QuickBooks by editing the bank account in your Chart of Accounts. 

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. From the Accounting menu, select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Choose the account where the check is incorrectly posted and click View register.
  3. Tap the check and select Edit.
  4. To edit the transaction amount, highlight the existing amount and type the new amount into the input box.
  5. Hit Save and close.

 

Right after, match the manually added entry to the downloaded one. Once done, you can start the reconciliation process. See Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online for reference.  

 

Keep me posted if you have other concerns or questions reconciling your account. I’m more than happy to work with you again. Stay safe.
