Hi there, 

 

It's great to have you join the QuickBooks Community. You're in good hands now, I'll show you how to edit a reconciled transaction. 

 

First, you'll need to unreconcile the transaction in order for you to edit it. 

 

Here's how to unreconcile in QuickBooks:

 

   1. Select the Gear icon on the Toolbar.
   2. Under Your Company, select Chart of Accounts.
   3. Locate the appropriate account for the transaction.
   4. From the Action column, select Account History.
   5. Identify the transaction to edit.
   6. In the reconcile status column (indicated by a check mark), repeatedly select the top line of the transaction to change the status of the transaction.

        Codes indicate the status of the transaction:
             - Cleared
             - Reconciled
             Blank - Not cleared or reconciled

   7. Select Save.

 

Once you've unreconciled the transaction, you can proceed with changing the expense account and then reconcile it again. Here's a good article with more info on how to reconcile: Reconcile hub.

 

Give this a try and if you're still having issues, I recommend contacting our support team using this link
