Question

deleting a bank reconciliation

I use QBO.  I put the wrong ending date for the 01.31.24 bank recon; I used 01.01.24 by mistake.

 

On the bank recon screen I clicked "edit info" button, changed the date to 01.31.24, BUT no additional transactions were included in the recon.

 

When I go to chart of accounts and view the register to this account, the items on the bogus recon are not marked as reconciled (R).  How do I get rid of this recon with the 01.01.24 date and start again with the correct date?

Let me help you start reconciling again with the correct date, Cody.

 

To begin with, you'll need to undo the reconciliation first. Please note that you can only unreconcile one transaction at a time. If you need to start over, I recommend seeking assistance from your accountant. They can undo the entire period using QuickBooks Online (QBO) Accountant.

 

Here's how to invite your accountant:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Manage Users.
  2. From the Accountants tab, enter your accountant's email in the field, and then click Invite.

 

Your accountant will be notified via email about the invitation. The Manage users page status will change to "Active" once they accept. They'll receive a link to access your QBO company if they already have an account. Otherwise, they'll need to sign up for free. Then, your accountant can proceed to undo the entire reconciliation.

 

Alternatively, if you prefer to undo the reconciliation yourself, you can follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Look for the account and click View register.
  3. Filter the register's date period. Then, click Apply.
  4. Review the check column; if the transaction is reconciled, you'll see an "R."
  5. Choose the box and keep clicking it until it's blank. This removes the transaction from the reconciliation.
  6. Click Save and then close your register.

 

In case you encounter any reconciliation issues, you can use this article as a guide to fix them: Fix issues when reconciling accounts.
