Hello Community! Welcome back to another Top 5. Are you needing to delete a deposit, import your expenses, or unreconcile a monthly statement that has already been reconciled? If so, then you’re in luck because this time around, we are going over top questions on the topic of Banking. Let’s take a look!

You can definitely unreconcile a monthly statement that has already been reconciled. Let’s take a look at how this can be done within QuickBooks Online.
Note: If you’re using QuickBooks Online Accountant, then you’ll simply use the Undo a reconciliation feature to unreconcile previous transactions without having to do so manually for each one. You can find the steps to do this in this guide.
However, if you have any other version, then you will need to manually unreconcile each transaction to undo the reconciliation. I’ll go over the step by step process of this for you.
Here's how:
- Go to Accounting tab on the left panel.
- Under Your Company, select Chart of Accounts.
- Choose the account you’re working on, and click on View Register.
- Select the transactions you want to unreconcile.
- Keep on clicking the R status until it shows blank or cleared (C).
- Click on Save.
- Choose Yes in the confirmation window.
It’s important to consult with your accountant before taking any of these steps just to ensure that all your records are in order. For more resources and insight on this topic, make sure to check out this article on unreconciling transactions.
Yes! To delete a deposit, you’ll want to go to the tool bar and find Edit. Then you’ll want to click on DELETE DEPOSIT.
It’s important to note that the Delete Deposit option will only show on the Edit toolbar if you select the deposit within the register. If there are multiple payments in one deposit, you can open the transaction and use the Delete Line option instead.
Here's how:
- Click Lists at the top menu bar.
- Click Chart of Accounts.
- Double-click the account.
- Double-click the deposit.
- If you want to delete a specific payment, select it from the list.
- Now click the Edit tab at the top menu bar.
- Select Delete Line.
- You can select Delete Deposit if you want to delete the entire deposit.
