Hello there, @jc2332. I'll share steps to help you exclude the duplicate transactions in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

In QBDT, the process of excluding duplicate transactions in the Bank Feeds page depends on your bank mode. To verify what mode you're using, refer to these steps:

Select the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
Next, select Checking and go to the Company Preferences tab.
Then, scroll down to the Bank Feeds section and check what mode is selected.

If you're in Express mode, just select the Ignore button to remove the duplicates. Please know that QBDT will delete the transactions in the bank feeds. Once ready, follow the instructions below:

Navigate to the Banking menu.
Next, select Bank Feeds and choose Bank Feeds Center.
From there, locate the bank from where you download transactions again and click the Transaction List button.
Then, check the box of the duplicate transactions.
Select the Batch Actions dropdown and choose Ignore.
Click Yes to confirm the action.

If you're using other bank modes, check out this article for detailed steps: Remove duplicate transactions in QuickBooks Desktop.

It's also recommended to reconcile your account regularly to ensure the balance of your account matches your real-life bank statement.

Should you need additional assistance or if you have other questions about managing duplicate transactions, please don't hesitate to leave a reply below. I'll be here to provide answers to help fix your issue.

Hello there, jc2332.

I appreciate you taking the initial step to remove your transactions, including the result. I'm here to help and offer an alternative method for batch deleting your entries.

The Batch Delete/Void Transactions function is only available in QuickBooks Desktop Accountant (QBDT) 2018, Enterprise and Enterprise Accountant 18.0, and later versions. Thus, you're unable to see the Accountant tab in your desktop program.

Alternatively, use a third-party application to delete your entries in bulk. Let's go to the QuickBooks Marketplace to find one that’s compatible with the desktop program.

From there, enter a keyword in the Search field to speed up the process. Choose the one that best suits your business needs from the list. Make sure to follow the instructions provided by the app on how to remove your data.

After cleaning up your records, I recommend contacting your Financial Institution (FI) to check if you can download entries from 2022. If they let you bring the information into QBDT, utilize the WebConnect feature to manually download transactions.

Here's how:

Go to your bank's website and log in.
Find the statement or transaction you want to bring into QuickBooks.
Download the transaction file to your computer.
Double-click the file. QuickBooks automatically imports the transactions.

To learn more about the various ways to import your bank data, head to the Download using Web Connect section in this article: Download bank feed transactions in QuickBooks Desktop.

Once you've added the entries in QBDT, categorize them to the correct accounts. On the other hand, you can create rules to classify transactions for things you often spend money on (suppliers or business expenses).

I want to make sure you're acclimated to the features available in your current version. The following article contains a list of how each one works: What’s new in QuickBooks Desktop 2024.

In addition, these resources will show the steps on how to manage duplicates and handle other banking-related concerns:

Thank you for your reply. I would rather not go to a third party application. What if I download from my bank 2022 transactions again (which for some reason wasn't complete) and leave the existing transactions from 2022. This will create a bunch of duplicates. Is there a way to delete the duplicate transactions?
