indicate the total sum of deposits for that day rather than listing each deposit separately. Similarly, you may
summarize transactions in your register, such as bank charges, that the bank itemizes.
• Check the dollar amount of the checks, withdrawals, or deposits. If the totals don’t agree, you may have entered
a transaction in QuickBooks incorrectly.
Fixing the incorrect amount
If you find an incorrect amount in a transaction, here’s how to fix it:
1 In the Reconcile window, double-click the incorrect transaction to open it in its original window.
2 Enter the correct amount. Click OK to record the change.
3 Click in the Reconcile window or choose Banking > Reconcile to return to the list of marked
transactions.
4 Mark the corrected transaction as cleared.
Transferring funds between accounts
You can record a transfer of funds from one account to another.
To record the transfer:
1 Make the transfer at your bank.
2 In QuickBooks, choose Banking > Transfer Funds.
3 Select the date you want the transfer to be recorded in your Company file.
4 Enter the transfer amount.
5 Select the accounts you want to transfer funds from and to. The window displays the balances of
both accounts.
6 (Optional) Enter a memo for the transfer.
7 Click OK.
Let QuickBooks make a an adjustment transaction
What’s a few cents between friends, right? The difference between your QuickBooks account balance and your
bank statement may be small enough that it’s not worth your time to track down the error. So before you go
spending a lot of time tracking down a few dollars and cents, consider if it’s worth it.
If you decide it’s not and want to ignore the difference, QuickBooks can enter an adjustment for the amount of
the difference. That way, you’ll start with accurate totals the next time you reconcile your account.
1 In the Reconcile window, click Reconcile.
2 In the Reconcile Adjustment window, click Enter Adjustment.
