A credit card reconciliation has given me a discrepancy of several hundred dollars. The account was reconciled a month or two ago, but the I couldn’t get the latest statement to work. So I have laboriously been working my way backwards to see where the problem(s) lie.
I was embarrassed to discover two transactions from recent months that were each entered twice. In neither case, fortunately, did I actually double-pay. In the first case (“medical”), one version had previously been successfully reconciled (displaying a Y tag); the other was tagged C, indicating it had been not yet reconciled. I deleted that version, which reduced the amount of the discrepancy. In the other transaction (“grocery”), both versions had been reconciled (Y tag). I’m pretty sure I can safely delete either one (but of course, not both). I can’t think how the duplicate files got through the earlier (monthly) reconciliation process. I’m pretty consistent in reconciling bank accounts and credit cards — but perhaps not 100 percent? Also, am I correct in thinking that if the most current (bank) statement reconciles, that constitutes a reconciled account, even if getting there is a rocky road? I want to do the right thing, here, so I offer advance thanks to those who help struggling GnuCash users.
