Welcome to the Community, Blparker45.
I'd be happy to share with you some information about correcting the beginning balance that could help resolve your concern.
Most beginning balance issues are caused by an incorrect opening balance. This is the account's starting point, which you specified when you first created it in QuickBooks. Correcting the opening balance should also resolve your beginning balance issues.
You'll want to check the account's opening balance again. The opening balance may not include transactions that were still pending when the account was created.
You can proceed to these steps, after reviewing your opening balance:
- Go to Accounting, then select Chart of accounts.
- Find the account on the list.
- Choose View register.
- Search for the opening balance entry. It should have "Opening Balance Equity" in the Account column.
- Take note of the date and balance.
