Common 855-749-2321 QuickBooks Reconciliation Errors and How to Fix Them

In QuickBooks, reconciliation errors 855-749-2321 can arise for various reasons during the process of matching your bank statement to your QuickBooks records. These errors can lead to discrepancies between your QuickBooks balance and your actual bank balance, which can be frustrating to troubleshoot. Below is a list of common QuickBooks reconciliation errors 855-749-2321, their potential causes, and suggested solutions to fix them.

1. Reconciliation Discrepancy

Error Message: "Reconciliation Discrepancy" or "Reconciliation Report showing discrepancies."

• Cause: This occurs when transactions have been modified, deleted, or added after a reconciliation was completed, resulting in an inconsistency between the previously reconciled balances and the current balance.

• Solution:

  • Use the Reconciliation Discrepancy Report to identify which transactions were changed.

  • Check the Audit Log to see if someone altered or deleted transactions.

  • Restore or adjust any affected transactions.

  • If necessary, undo the last reconciliation (Accounting > Reconcile > Undo Last Reconciliation) and perform it again.

2. Incorrect Ending Balance

Error Message: "Ending balance does not match the bank statement."

• Cause: If the ending balance from the bank statement is entered incorrectly, the reconciliation will not match.

• Solution:

  • Double-check the ending balance and statement date from your bank statement.

  • Ensure no other transactions (such as bank fees or interest) have been missed.

3. Missing Transactions

Error Message: "Bank statement contains transactions that are not in QuickBooks."

• Cause: Some transactions on your bank statement may not have been entered into QuickBooks yet (such as bank charges, interest, or deposits).

• Solution:

  • Go to Banking > Bank Feeds to review downloaded transactions.

  • Manually add any missing transactions.

  • Ensure the date and amount of the transaction match exactly with the bank statement.

4. Duplicate Transactions

Error Message: "Duplicate transactions showing up during reconciliation."

• Cause: This occurs when a transaction has been entered twice—once manually and again via bank feed or import.

• Solution:

  • In the Banking > Bank Feeds section, identify the duplicate transactions.

  • Remove or delete the duplicate transactions.

  • Ensure you do not import the same transaction multiple times.

5. Cleared Transactions Marked Incorrectly

Error Message: "Transaction marked as cleared, but it hasn’t cleared the bank yet."

• Cause: Some transactions may have been marked as cleared in QuickBooks when they haven't cleared the bank yet.

• Solution:

  • Go through the transactions and uncheck any transactions that are marked as cleared but haven't appeared on the bank statement.

  • Reconcile them again in the next period if they’re still pending.

6. Uncleared Transactions

Error Message: "Transactions not cleared in QuickBooks showing as cleared in the bank."

• Cause: Some transactions, like checks or deposits, may not have cleared yet but are incorrectly marked as uncleared in QuickBooks.

• Solution:

  • Make sure that all transactions marked as "cleared" in QuickBooks have actually cleared your bank.

  • If you find any discrepancies, uncheck them in QuickBooks, and they will be carried over to the next reconciliation period.

7. Bank Fees or Interest Not Recorded

Error Message: "Bank fees or interest charges not accounted for in QuickBooks."

• Cause: Bank fees, service charges, or interest deposits may not be recorded in QuickBooks.

• Solution:

  • Add any missing fees or interest by going to the Banking section and entering the transactions manually.

  • Categorize them as "Bank Charges" or "Interest Income" accordingly.

8. Unmatched Bank Feed Transactions

Error Message: "Bank feed transactions do not match QuickBooks transactions."

• Cause: Bank feed transactions can sometimes mismatch with QuickBooks transactions due to date differences or entry errors.

• Solution:

  • Review the transactions in the Bank Feeds section and ensure that each bank feed matches a transaction in QuickBooks.

  • If any transactions are unmatched, manually match them, or add new transactions where necessary.

9. Account Type Mismatch

Error Message: "Account type mismatch between QuickBooks and the bank."

• Cause: The bank account type in QuickBooks may not align with the bank’s actual account type (e.g., selecting a checking account when it should be a savings account).

• Solution:

  • Check the Chart of Accounts and make sure the bank account in QuickBooks matches the type of account at the bank.

  • Correct the account type if necessary.

10. Previous Reconciliation Not Marked as Cleared

Error Message: "Previous reconciliation was not marked as cleared."

• Cause: If a prior reconciliation was not completed or marked as cleared in QuickBooks, it can affect the current reconciliation.

• Solution:

  • Go back to Accounting > Reconcile and make sure that all prior reconciliations are marked as cleared.

  • If needed, undo the reconciliation and perform it again.

11. Reconciled Transactions Showing in Current Period

Error Message: "Reconciled transactions are showing up again during the current reconciliation."

• Cause: If transactions were marked as reconciled in a previous period but are reappearing in the current reconciliation, it may be due to changes in the reconciliation history.

• Solution:

  • Use the Audit Log to check if someone made changes to past reconciliations.

  • Undo the previous reconciliation, restore any lost or modified transactions, and reconcile again.

1. Undo and Reconcile Again: If the error persists and you can’t find a solution, you may consider undoing your last reconciliation and starting over.

2. Use the Reconciliation Discrepancy Report: This will highlight the changes made to previously reconciled transactions and can help you pinpoint errors.

3. Check the Audit Log: The Audit Log shows any changes made to your QuickBooks transactions, including deleted or modified entries. This can help you identify when and where discrepancies occurred.

4. Contact QuickBooks Support: If you're unable to resolve the error or need more advanced troubleshooting, QuickBooks support can help you get back on track.
