Do I need to record "pending" Paypal transactions to reconcile my Paypal account in Quickbooks or do I just include "completed" transactions?

Hi hannah41.

Knowing what information you need to have entered to reconcile is imperative to keep your accounts correct and up to date. I'd be happy to help point you in the right direction on how to get your account reconciled.

As the transactions are showing as pending in your PayPal I recommend reaching out to your accountant to find out if they should be entered or not. If you don't have an accountant no worries, we can help. You can go to My Accountant>Find a pro to help to find one in your area.

Once you find out if you should record those transactions you can reconcile your account by following the steps in this article.

If you have any questions let us know and we'd be happy to help.
