Question

Who else thinks that on Jan 2nd, if I am in my registry and type 12/23 <tab> (trying to finish out year end books), that the DEFAULT YEAR should be 2023, NOT 2024.

I just entered 10 transactions wrong because why would I think they default to 11 months in the future for a bank transaction I am entering?

Welcome to the Community space, Elubin. We'll provide information to help you correct details and close your books inside QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Reading through your post, it may have something to do with your closing books set up in your Account and settings. When closing books inside the program, there's a field where you enter the closing date. If it's dated to 2024, know that you can still correct the closing date. We'll input the steps below:

 

  1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. On the top-right corner, click the Gear icon.
  3. Select Account and settings.
  4. Go to the Advanced tab, and then click the Pencil icon in the Accounting section.
  5. Enter the correct closing date.
  6. Once done, click the Save button and then select Done.

 

Also, please know that QBO depends on what data your bank provides. That said, if you've downloaded transactions and they're dated 2024, you'll want to exclude them and then have them in CSV format to edit the date manually. You can check this page for more details: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.

 

Additionally, here are some articles if you wish to keep track of what you've recorded inside the program:

 

 

We look forward to having you here again, Elubin. We'll be if you need further assistance closing books or correcting transactions inside the program. Stay safe, and have a good one.
