Discrepancy between credit card balance in Quicken and online
OTTBMom
I pay my cc balance in full every month, never carry a balance. But my online balance due for this coming month is higher by about $600 than my balance in Quicken is. Quicken includes charges that are beyond my cc closing date, so if anything it's Quicken that should have a larger balance. I have reconciled, and everything is okay there. I cannot figure out why my online balance due is higher than my current balance in Quicken for this cc. Any suggestions as to where to look would be appreciated!

Where are you seeing this balance in Q? It could be in several places.
IF, in your account register, are you showing future-dated transactions there?
And, if in the Account Bar, is it set to show "Current Balance" or "Ending Balance" ... which gets back to that future-dated transactions question.
Also, do you reconcile to Online, or a paper statement?

As the
Online Balance
Quicken obtained from the financial institution is unreliable, I suggest reconciling using a statement.

It's not unreliable. It's up to date, I can tell by looking at the transactions on both sides. But somehow Quicken is missing about $1000 and I don't know where it's gone. If I were to pay my statement balance today, Quicken would show almost a $1000 credit on its side. That's a lot of money to be off by!

NotaCPA --some helpful info from you! I did just now run a reconcile, and if I compare online balance to Q it does show a $1055 discrepancy. Now . . . how do I find the source of the discrepance? Or should I just enter a correcting txn and move on? I'm afraid if I do that it will be out of sync at a future date.

@OTTBMom
was your last reconciliation successful? If so, the error is somewhere after that point.
What do the transactions after that last successful reconciliation have in the CLR column?
You MIGHT need to print off a list of all transactions since the last successful one and reconcile to that.

So thanks to both of you for taking the time to help me out. I decided to just go ahead and add a txn to reconcile my Quicken side, so both sides match now and we'll see how things go from here.
