I recently bought a new computer and restored my Quickbooks Pro 2018 backup. An item that was reconciled in 2020 is now showing as unreconciled. I cannot reconcile my current statements and cannot go back and unreconcile and re-reconcile 5 years of statements~!

What can I do?

I have tried manually marking the line item as "reconciled " (checkmark in "cleared" column) but when I go to reconcile my current statement, it appears as a "credit" in the reconciliation screen (albeit with a checkmark). I do not want to mess up my 2025 tax reporting! And I already reported and paid this as income in 2020 when I received it.

What can I do?
