Hello,

 

If I started to use QB on January and on my January bank statement, there is a check wrote in December 31 of last year, because of this check the balance is different when I reconcile.

Hi there, @Veronika11.

 

Let me help you reconcile your accounts in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

 

If you haven't reconciled your accounts yet, we manually record this check inside QuickBooks. That way, it would match your actual bank statement. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Banking menu and select Write Checks.
  2. Select your account from the BANK ACCOUNT drop-down list. This is where the money will be taken from.
  3. Choose the payee from the PAY TO THE ORDER OF drop-down menu.  
  4. Enter the address, and choose the account from the Expenses tab or product from the Items tab.
  5. Enter the amount and fill out the rest of the info. 
  6. Select Save & Close.

 

Once done, this should match your actual bank statement. If you're connected to online banking, you can match this transaction to the downloaded one. 

 

In case you've already reconciled your account, you can perform a mini-reconciliation. That way, you can add the transaction and update your ending balance. 

 

Moreover, here's what to do if your accounts in QuickBooks Desktop don't match your bank statements at the end of the reconciliation: Fix issues when you're reconciling in QBDT.
