3. How to reconcile account with quicken
When you are reconciling an account with Quicken, you are actually comparing your Quicken account records against your current bank statement and then resolving any differences between the two. Reconciliation can be affected by transactions that occurred in the period shown on your current bank statement as well as by earlier transactions.
In order to do this you must first update and reconcile a cash flow. For accounts that you track manually, the balance shown in your Quicken register hardly ever matches the balance shown on your bank statement. This is because in the time you receive your statement in the mail, you’ve typically entered additional transactions. Reconciling helps you synchronize your statement with your Quicken register in order to be certain. In order for the month being reconciled, neither you nor the bank has recorded any transactions incorrectly.
You can also use Auto Reconcile to help you with the reconciling of accounts. This is particularly useful with accounts that you have activated for transaction download and that you reconcile to an online balance. If your Quicken balance matches your online balance, Quicken can automatically reconcile your transactions. It does this by placing an R in the Clr column of the register after your downloaded transactions are accepted in the Compare to register window. In case the balances do not match, Quicken will display a Statement History window to help you find the problem, highlighting the individual statement where the discrepancy occurred.
If you are still unable to get the issue resolved then you should get in touch with a company that provides technical support services. The technical support experts who will help you resolve these issues are well experienced in the usage of Quicken and can solve most Quicken related issues with ease.
