How do I correct my beginning balance this month? I edited 2 transactions already reconciled in the past in order to recategorize them, now I'm off those amounts.

Hi there, @Richard S1. I'm here to ensure you'll be able to correct the beginning balance of your account. 

Thanks for sharing the details of your concern. I've got here additional troubleshooting steps to fix the issue. 

To start, let me first share a few reasons that cause beginning balance issue:

• The opening balance was incorrectly entered when the account is created.
• There are transactions added that are older than the opening balance but didn't edit the original balance entry to reflect the change.
• An already reconciled transaction was edited, deleted, moved, or unreconciled. This changes the ending balance of your last reconciliation, which impacts the beginning balance of the next one.
• A transaction was manually reconciled, so it didn't show up on the next reconciliation.

To resolve this, let's start by reviewing the original opening balance and make sure that it is correct.

Once done, ensure that you're reconciling the correct account for the correct month. Here's how:

1. In your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account, go to the Bookkeeping or Accounting menu.
2. Then, select Reconcile.
3. From there, review the account you selected in the Account dropdown.

You also have to categorize and match all of the downloaded transactions of your account to get the correct beginning balance before start reconciling. 

Lastly, you'll have to review the discrepancy report to determine what corrections you need to do.
