How to remove previous years reconciliations showing up in the current reconciliation

Items previously reconciled years ago are now appearing in the reconciliation.  The beginning balance is correct and checks are showing as cleared, indicating that they are still reconciled.  When looking in the register, these items are now unmarked, appearing unreconciled.  How can these be removed and marked without causing discrepancies in our reports?

Thanks for reaching out, smile123. I'll discuss further details about this matter.

 

I understand your concern about previous years' reconciled transactions now appearing as unreconciled in your current reconciliation. To resolve this, you'll need to reconcile these transactions again since they were already reconciled in the past. Please note that this process may affect the beginning balance of your current reconciliation.

 

Before proceeding, I highly recommend reviewing your past reconciliation reports to check if adjustment entries were made to maintain the reconciliation balance. This will help you determine whether these transactions are valid or if they should be deleted.

 

Once you've reviewed the reports and decided on the validity of the transactions, I suggest creating a backup of your company file to ensure you have a secure restore point. After backing up, you can move forward by marking the transactions as reconciled and completing the reconciliation process.

So, even though these transactions are reconciled in every way but in the register, they would need to be cleared again?  I feel this could create an issue with our reports?  Additionally, when I went in again, after working in the books, additional previous reconciled transactions appeared.  Again, this is not affecting our starting balance in reconciliation, indicating they have not really been unreconciled.  Thank you for your time.
