Welcome to the Community, BLRaf.
 

When deleted transactions display on your check register as cleared, you can perform a special reconciliation to correct them. This includes re-entering the transaction, then re-reconciling it. Detailed steps for this process can be found in Rubielyn_J's post.
 

As for identifying how correcting the information will affect your balance sheet and a prior year's ending expense, I'd recommend working with an accounting professional.
 

If you're in need of one, there's an awesome tool on our website called Find an Accountant. Each ProAdvisor listed there is QuickBooks-certified and able to provide helpful insights to drive your business's success.

Here's how it works:

1. Go to our Find an Accountant webpage.
2. In the Find an expert in section, choose what you're looking for, then use your search field to enter a City or ZIP code.
3. Click Search.
   
4. Browse through the results and find one that works best for your business. You can access each ProAdvisor's profile to learn more information about them.
   

Once you've found an accounting professional, they can be reached through their Send a message form:

1. Use your available text box to introduce yourself. Be sure to include details about the services you're looking for.
2. Enter the appropriate info in the Your name, Your email, and Your phone number (optional) fields.
3. Select Send message. 
   

You can also find many detailed resources about using QuickBooks in our help article archives.
 

I'll be here to assist if there's any additional questions. Have a wonderful day!
