Question

Balance in the check-writing window doesn't match the balance shown in the bank feed transactions tab

I'm experiencing a technical issue with QBO and would like some help with it.

 

When writing a check, the check-writing window shows a different balance in the checking account compared to the bank feed transactions tab in QBO. 

 

It's important to note that the balance in the bank feed transaction tab matches the balance in the external checking account.

 

Is there a way to resolve this? I am eager to align the check-writing window balance with what is available in the account, just as it does in the bank feed transaction tab.

Thanks for reaching out to the Community, BTCPNC. I appreciate your detailed information.

 

If a bank register's balance in QuickBooks doesn't match the balance of your real-life account, there's a number of things which could be causing the balances to differ. You'll want to confirm why they don't match, then fix any problems as necessary.

 

Here's a list of reasons why balances may not match:
 

  • Duplicate transactions
  • Outstanding transactions
  • Credit card (liability) accounts
  • Edited or deleted transactions
  • New transactions for a connected account

 

You can refer to our How to Fix Differences Between QuickBooks Balance and Bank Balance article for each recommended fix for their recommended reasons.

 

If you're still having problems with balances not matching between your real-life account and the account in QuickBooks, you can refer to the following articles for further guidance on fixing the incorrect balance:
 

 

I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have a great Wednesday!
