HI!

I just started QB desktop 2 years ago so bear with me.

I work in a small govt office and when I look at the list of AJE, every year some are the same! I asked the CPA auditor about this 3x and he finally understood my question and said he doesn't know how to correct this in QB so it doesn't come up every year.

it reads $1,500 debit (to a checking acct) and then $1,500 credit to accounts payable 

even those this original debt or check was from 2018!  he said it was a reconcilation problem.

UGH! I don't want to keep entering the same stuff year after year - that is NOT fixing anything! Help me if you can!

Hi 2020Newbie,

 

Being able to post journal entries to correct information is one of the ways QuickBooks Desktop helps to make sure your books are always correct. I can help point you in the right direction.

 

When a reconciliation is incorrect before making a journal entry you should always try and find what is causing the error. In this sense it is best to contact an accountant as they are trained to find this information and help to correct it. If the Journal entry was made in 2018 you'd have to undo all the reconciles to that point as any changes to that journal entry will affect them. For this I'd recommend contacting an accountant to help you get this resolved. If you don't have one currently you can find one near you by going to our find an accountant page. They will be able to help assist you in getting your journal entries corrected for your future reconciliations.

 

Have a great day!
