I'm here to help share information about your account reconciliation, @NKBooks.

 

Entering the statement ending balance of a credit card account for reconciliation doesn't need to be positive or negative. Once the transactions recorded in your account register are correct, it'll automatically clear out the difference in your reconciliation.

 

I'm adding this article to learn more about working with reconciliation: Reconcile an Account in QuickBooks Online.

 

Therefore, I still recommend contacting your accountant for guidance in entering the ending the balance of a credit card account reconciliation. They can also share the best accounting practice to follow considering the needs of your business in closing your books.
