I have all the steps to help you undo a bank reconciliation in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @andiie46.

 

You can undo a reconciled transaction one at a time. If you need to start over, I recommend contacting your accountant. They can reverse the entire reconciliation using their QuickBooks Online Accountant (QBOA). You can invite them by following these steps:

 

  1. Open your QBO account.
  2. Click the Gear icon in the upper-right of your screen, and choose Manage Users.
  3. From the Accounting Firms tab, click the Invite button.
  4. Enter the accountant's information, then Save.
  5. Let your accountant undo the entire reconciliation.

 

If you'd rather handle it yourself, follow these steps to undo reconciled transactions individually:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon in the upper-right of your screen, and choose Chart of Accounts.
  2. Find the account and select View register.
  3. To help you focus on this task, filter the register to only include the last 60 days of transactions.



  4. Select the transaction and review the check column. If the transaction is reconciled, you’ll see an “R.”
  5. Keep clicking the box until it's blank. It removes the transaction from the reconciliation.



  6. Hit Save. Then close your register.
