When I go to reconcile my checking account each month, the starting balance in Quicken is always off by the same amount each month (house payment).
My Bank statement says the starting balance is one number and quicken says another (which is always that same amount (house payment)).
All my transactions for my house are recorded in Quicken (not missing any entries).
When I begin to reconcile my account, I change the beginning balance that Quicken thinks I have to what my bank statement actually says the beginning balance was.
Once I enter the beginning balance and ending balance and the statement date, the reconciliation process marks all my transactions and I’m balanced, except that same amount.
I then let QUICKEN enter the adjusted amount, but then my balance in Quicken does not reflect my ACTUAL bank balance and is off by that same amount.
In short, I want to know if there is a way to force quicken to recognize the actual beginning balance or if I can overwrite what Quicken thinks it the beginning balance permanently, so I don’t have to always enter the adjust then delete it after I have reconciled by checking account.
