Deleted transactions

It looks like the challenge you're facing with these transactions reappearing even after being deleted, WebeRE. Especially when you are trying to ensure everything is for your checking account reconciliation. Let's dive into this together, to get this sorted out.

To prevent duplicates, it is essential to match downloaded transactions to existing paychecks in QBO.

If you find that a transaction downloaded from your bank account already exists in your records, it would be prudent to exclude the duplicate to maintain accuracy in your books.

Here's how you do it:

1. In the For Review tab, find the duplicate transaction.
2. Click the checkbox next to the duplicate transaction to select it, then select "Exclude."
3. After excluding the duplicates, access the Chart of Accounts and locate the reconciliation discrepancies account to correct any discrepancies from previously deleted transactions that will reappear.
4. Regularly review the rules for automatically adding transactions in QuickBooks to ensure that transactions are categorized accurately, which will prevent similar issues in the future.

Furthermore, please be aware that once a downloaded transaction is accepted or excluded in QuickBooks, the bank will no longer send that transaction to the bank feed again. However, if you delete the transaction instead of excluding it, the system will detect that the transaction hasn’t been accounted for and will re-download it from the bank.

You should have matched the downloaded transaction to the payroll transaction before reconciling.

Since you've already reconciled, just undo the added transaction from the Categorized tab on the Banking page. This will move it back to the "For Review" tab, where you can exclude it.
