A check was issued in 2021 and reissued in 2022. The check issued in 2021 was voided. Now the balance sheet and bank account are out of balance. Can I fix this?

Hi there, @jem080164.

 

I understand how important it is to stay accurate with your QuickBooks balance and how crucial it is to match it with your bank statement. 

 

If the accounts are already reconciled, then you may need to undo the reconciliation from today back to the specific date when the 2021 voided check and reconcile again to balance it.

 

Prior to undoing a reconciliation, I recommend that you create a backup copy of your company file to ensure you have the original info you can restore in case of accidental loss or damage. it would also be best if you consult your accountant if undoing the transactions is the best option for you or they can suggest another way to fix the reconciliation. You can also check and print out your previous reconciliation report, just in case you need them for historical data. 

 

Here's how you can undo reconciliation in QuickBooks Desktop:

 

  1. Go to Banking menu.
  2. Choose Reconcile.
  3. Then click the button Undo Last Reconciliation.

You can check this article for more information about fixing reconciliation in QuickBooks Desktop.

Let me know how everything turns out, or if you have any issues after following those steps. Just leave a comment below and I'll get back to you. Have a great day.
