Question

I closed my TD Canada Trust accounts and lost all the expenses I recorded onto quickbooks. I'm sure quickbooks keeps my transactions on hand and I really don't want to go back and manually add all these transactions... Any advice?

Hi moussaelfares,

 

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community! I love that you've been benefiting from the bank feed connection in QuickBooks Self-Employed to easily manage your transactions. I can explain how this version of QuickBooks manages the bank feeds and the transactions you've added using it.

 

So long as the bank feed is connected in QuickBooks Self-Employed, the transactions you've already added or matched should remain in your books. All that'll happen with having closed the bank account outside of the program is that the feed will no longer update, and you may get an error message letting you know that there's an issue with updating as well. You can just leave the feed as is to make sure that you still have record of those transactions.

 

However, if you'd closed the bank account outside of QuickBooks and removed it from the feed, the transactions will also have been removed from the system. When you delete a bank feed connection in QuickBooks Self-Employed, you're presented with this message.

 

 

If you've type DELETE, there isn't a record of the transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed because, as the message says, those would have also been deleted. This is because the feed and the related transactions are linked and don't sort into another area of the program such as a chart of accounts like in QuickBooks Online.

 

That being said, you can consider manually adding the transactions back or, if you still have access to the account data in your bank's website, you can explore manually uploading the transactions to QuickBooks Self-Employed. This article explains how to go about that: Manually import transactions into QuickBooks Self-Employed

 

Don't hesitate if you have more questions about this. I'm here to help however I can.
