Question

Transaction bank balance 0

I've reconciled my first month and it came out exact in qb online showing the beginning and ending

balances being correct.  But when viewing 'Transactions', it shows the bank bal on top with the qb balance on the bottom for each account, the bank account balance at my bank says $0, and that's not correct. 

 

I manually import my transactions.  My bank doesn't work with qb. 

 

It's correct in the ledger but just not on the display in 'transactions'.  There's no 'balance' column in the

csv file I import.  How could it not see it, particularly since it's in the register?

 

Any ideas?

I can see why your bank balance is showing zero in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @azacdoc.

 

When connecting your bank account to QuickBooks, this will provide access from your bank and see the actual balance in it. Given that you manually uploaded your bank and mentioned that this doesn’t work with QuickBooks. This explains why the Bank Balance reflected in the application is zero (0). This is the default even if you'll bring in the transactions.

 

Your actual bank balance will appear if you connect it. You can also update it to get the latest data. From the Banking page, simply click Update. In addition, all transactions you recorded will affect the QuickBooks balance.

 

Furthermore, you can refer to this resource if you encounter any issues after reconciling your account: Fix issues at the end of a reconciliation in QuickBooks Online.

I CAN'T connect to my bank through qb. It returns that it can't connect.

 

They no longer work with qb, as mentioned.
