I'm trying to do a bank rec on a credit card - it started off as a (negative) figure of -$10878.03, owner paid $40000 into the account and purchases of $15773.63 which would leave a closing balance of $13348.34.When i reconcile all items, it comes up as reconciled transactions -$24226.37 instead of $24226.37. Hense the closing balance is $35104.40 instead of the correct total of $13348.34 which I have triple cheacked as well as confirming with the bank.I've rung the helpline but they couldn't help.Save me......

For some reason the initial amount of -$10878.03 has not been included in the reconciliation. When you started the reconciliation did the -$10878.03 show up as the start figure?0

Hi Tim, yes it stated that was the opening balance.0

The only other thing I can think of is that you have entered the transactions in the wrong column.0

I did double check that. Even deleted imported and a and reentered myself.0

If you just started this account a common issue is recording the opening balance as a negative. As it knows it's a credit card it doesn't need you to put the minus sign. Just enter the amount of the balance.0

Oh Tim, don't give up just yet. Lol0

Ah, ok, I'll check that, thanks Rick.0
