Hello, CScotty.

I'll add something to the mix and help you fix the balances when reconciling. 

As what RachelRubin1 pointed out, a balance discrepancy can be caused by an edited or deleted transaction. You can review your Reconciliation Discrepancy report to check if this is the case: 

1. Go to the Reports menu,
2. Hover on Banking,
3. Select Reconciliation Discrepancy.
4. Choose the bank account, then click OK. 

If there are transactions that cause the discrepancy between your balances, edit them with the correct details (or recreate deleted ones). Before doing this, back up your company file. 

Next, undo the previous reconciliation: 

1. Go to the Banking menu.
2. Select Reconcile. 
3. Choose the bank account, then click Undo Last Reconciliation. 

Finally, correct the previous period by reconciling it again.

After fixing the balance discrepancies, you can work on the next period's transactions. If you need help managing them, you can take a look at our articles in our articles list page. 

I'll keep this thread open if you have any other concerns regarding QuickBooks. Just tell us the details here and we'll help you out.
