Hi, icnance.
Let's review the source of your account. This way, we can identify why your bank account is showing in your Balance Sheet with negative numbers. But before doing so, I'd still recommend reaching out to your accountant. He/she can share the appropriate steps for you to take to fix the negative balance of your bank account and also she/he can take a look at how this account is set up and make a Journal Entry crediting the A/R account, so this will balance the account to zero.
Let's start by pulling up your transactions from the register of your negative account. To do so:
- Go to Lists, and select Chart of Account.
- Find and select your account.
- Under Reports, select Quick Report.
- Click Customize Report.
- Modify the date, and click OK.
- Double click the transaction to open it.
From here. you'll have to make sure that the transaction is posted into the same bank account with the negative balance. If this is not the case, you'll have to edit the posting bank account.
Please refer to this article to see information on how Chart of accounts organizes your transactions: Understand the chart of accounts in QuickBooks.
Also, I'm adding a few references here for ideas in managing your reports and transactions: Reports and Accounting for QuickBooks Desktop.
Let me know if you have other questions or concerns. I'm always here to help. Have a lovely day ahead of you!
