Credit Card reconcile won't balance

K Walsh

This was working a few days ago and now is not. I am 100% positive my numbers are all correct, but Quicken is confused.
Previous balance: 102.91
Payments: 102.93
Charges: 178.61
New balance: 178.59

Quicken reconcile
cleared charges: 178.61
statement ending balance: 178.59
difference: 0.02

That is all correct, but I do not need an adjustment applied and it won't let me finish without one.

If the reconciled opening balance has changed, a reconciled transaction has been added, modified, or deleted. To determine the source of the change, I suggest you compare the running balance of the account register in the current Quicken file with the running balance of the account register from a Quicken file backup saved when the account was last reconciled. One way to accomplish this is to print the registers to text files.

Thanks, but there is no "opening balance" for a Credit Card.

The reconciled opening balance is the total of all of the transactions in the register marked as reconciled and should be the Previous Balance. I suspect the reconciled opening balance was $102.93 but is now $102.91, a difference of $0.02.

I am having the same problem where my opening balance has changed since my last reconcile. The statement balanced on 1/17, which was the last time I worked in Quicken, and today it shows my opening balance for the current statement as being WAY more than the ending balance of my last statement. I have not deleted or modified any reconciled line items today, so there is no accounting for such a big discrepancy.

I swear Quicken has a bug in it. I have created a new checking account register so I can start fresh and it will be much easier to see if something is out of whack.

I took a closer look at my statement; there is a 0.02 interest credit (I disputed a charge).
