This is the result of importing a bank statement more than once.

Greetings, @peter141. You can use the Exclude option to remove the duplicate items from your pending transactions.

 

Here’s how:

 

  1. In the Accounting section, select Bank Transactions.
  2. Locate your duplicate items in the pending section.
  3. In the Action column, select the drop-down icon of the duplicate items and click Exclude.
  4. Once done, the duplicate will be moved to the Excluded section.

 

 

To remove it entirely, you’ll just have to go through the Excluded tab. Here’s how:

 

  1. Navigate to the Accounting section and select Bank Transactions.
  2. Go to the Excluded tab and find the items you previously excluded.
  3. Select the checkbox next to the Date and click Delete.

 

 

If you need help reconciling your accounts so your bank and credit card statements match, check this article: Reconcile an account in QBO.

To remove duplicate imported items in QuickBooks Online, go to Transactions > Bank Transactions > For Review. Select the duplicates, click Exclude, then go to the Excluded tab and click Delete to remove them permanently. If already categorised, undo them first, then exclude and delete. Excluding prevents them from being added; deleting ensures they don’t re-import. Always review carefully before deleting transactions.
