Many of the transactions in savings and checking are not checked. 

If the tranasaction is not checked does that mean I have not reconciled it or simply that I just need to confirm it? If the transaction is valid and accurate, do I simply check the box?

Welcome to the Community, newbie999.

 

If you're referring to an account's register screen in your Chart of accounts, the Checkmark (✓) column indicates whether a transaction was added or matched. It can also show if a transaction is reconciled or unreconciled.

 

"C" means your transaction was cleared through the bank feed and checked off, but not reconciled. "R" means your transaction has been reconciled. These will no longer show up on the reconciliation screen. If a transaction doesn't show a "C" or an "R", it means it hasn't been cleared or reconciled yet.
 

 

In the event you want to reconcile a single transaction from an account's register, you can do so while its record is expanded.

 

Here's how:
 

  1. Find your transaction and expand it.
  2. Move the cursor over its Checkmark (✓) column.
  3. Click your transaction's Checkmark (✓) column until it displays an "R".
  4. Select Save.
  5. If you see a message asking if you're sure you want to save the change, hit Yes.

 

You can reconcile entire accounts from your Reconcile screen to keep balances accurate.

 

I've also included a detailed resource about categorizing transactions which may come in handy moving forward: Categorize online bank transactions
