When Opening balance is incorrect because it down loaded old transaction from Desktop to Online

Let me share some insights regarding this matter, Candy. 

Since you already downloaded the transactions from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can edit the Opening balance equity in the Chart of Accounts to ensure that your opening balance and its date have the same detail as your bank statement.  You can also consult your accountant for more accurate results. 

Here's how: 

1. Go to the Gear icon and choose Chart of Accounts. 
2. Find the account where you imported your transactions.
3. Click the View register. 
4. Find the Opening balance equity and click Edit. 
5. Change the date or amount if needed. 
6. Once done, press Save and Close. 

Afterward, you can reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online so they always match your bank and credit card statements.
