I know I am doing this backwards but I have to fix it to start again correctly: I have been reconciling the subaccount credit cards and I want to zero out the parent account balance.

Hello, jeanl.

 

I'm here to help you correct the reconciled credit card accounts and ensure the balances are zeroed out. 

 

You'll want to undo the reconciliation for the subaccounts. Then, reconcile the main account. 

 

To undo the reconciliation for the subaccounts: 

 

  1. Go to the Banking menu, then select Reconcile
  2. Select the credit card subaccount under Account.
  3. Click the Undo Last Reconciliation button.

 

 

Do this until all of the subaccounts have been unreconciled. 

 

Also when you pay the balances for your credit card subaccounts, the parent account will be affected. This will zero-out the balances in your Chart of Accounts. If you need help paying your credit card accounts, you can check this article: Set up, use, and pay credit card accounts.

 

After ensuring all the credit card payments are recorded correctly, you'll want to reconcile the main account. Simply select it on the Begin Reconciliation window. 

 

 

If you need help with the process, you can check this article: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Desktop.
