amounts on balance sheet do not equal amounts on trial balance

Thanks for posting in the Community, @GBG2. I can help you figure out how to fix a balance sheet that is out of balance.

Balance sheet and Trial balance are different. However, since the balance sheet amount is out of balance, let's fix it by matching your total assets and liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports menu, then select Company and Financials.
2. Select Balance Sheet Summary, then choose Customize Report.
3. Click the Dates drop-down and select All on the Display tab.
4. Select Accrual.
5. Choose Year from the Display columns by drop-down in the Columns section, then hit OK.
