    Hi, @potsandpeaces.There are different reasons why transactions are missing depending on the area in QuickBooks Online (QBO) you're looking, @potsandpeaces.  In banking, transactions are missing because: 

     

    • Some banks may allow only 30 to 90 days of transactions, while others may permit up to a year.
    • The transactions are already categorized.
    • It has been excluded.
    • It did not sync at all.

     

    If missing transactions were entered manually, you can verify their deletion by checking the Audit log.
