Fritz,

I think I speak for everyone when I write that it shouldn't take QBO a year to fix this issue. And the initial advice to delete the invoices --- which clearly is contrary to every principle of financial auditing, bookkeeping, and accounting, is appalling. 

To everyone who asked about this -- before July 2022, the "Attention" and "Returned" messages disappeared after the account was reconciled, but that isn't happening anymore. If we all contact Support, perhaps they'll fix it before the end of 2022. The fix should be that we can remove the message ourselves.
