How do I unreconcile my books?

Thanks for becoming part of the Community, scott-smith-pit-.
 

You can unreconcile transactions one at a time. Initially, before undoing reconciled records, it's recommended to check if there's an issue with the account's original opening balance, beginning balance, or ending balance. Be sure to review them to rule out if any errors were caused with them, as this can cause an account to not balance correctly.
 

Here's how to unreconcile a transaction:
 

1. In your left navigation bar, go to Accounting, then Chart of accounts.
2. Find the account your transaction's in, and click the account's View register option.
3. Locate your transaction. Since it's reconciled, you'll see an "R" in its Checkmark (✔) column.
4. Hit the transaction to expand your view.
5. In its Checkmark (✔) column, click the box with an "R" in it. Continue clicking this box until it's blank. Doing so removes it from your reconciliation.
6. Select Save.

I've also included a couple detailed resources about reconciling and unreconciling which may come in handy moving forward:

I appreciate you getting back on this thread, ScottSmith.

When managing reconciled transactions, deleting or undoing these easily for the whole reconciliation year of 2022 is quite disastrous to your books. Since we aim to accurately balance these accounts in your QuickBooks Online data and your bank's statement, we can only unreconcile them one at a time. It is to ensure that there are no issues with your account's opening, beginning, and ending balance that may cause your books unbalanced. 

In the meantime, I'd suggest following my colleague's detailed steps on how to unreconcile a transaction manually. Also, I'd recommend consulting your accountant to guide you with the best appropriate approach when deleting reconciled accounts.

Moreover, I'm adding this article to guide you with other fixes for any reconciliation errors: Undo or remove transactions from reconciliations in QuickBooks Online.
