How can I correct a fixed asset on the balance sheet?
We paid cash for a vehicle Dec 2017. I added a fixed asset to chart of accounts. I added a total in the balance as of box and now I have too much money on my balance sheet. Then I did it again adding the vehicle as a sub-account of the fixed asset and again I entered a total in the balance as of box. So my balance sheet is messed up. Is there a way to fix it?
Hello Louise!
Thanks for asking a question on QAsolved Community Forum.
- Open the chart of accounts, for the subaccount select use register from the drop-down arrow far right, click in the transaction and select delete.
- Then back in the chart of accounts, delete the sub-account.
- Open the register for the original fixed asset account, click in the transaction.
- Select delete.
- Edit the cash payment you entered, as the expense select the car fixed asset account and save.
- Delete any other accounts that may have been listed.
Try not to use the balance box in the future – that is only used when you are setting up a company file from some other accounting system.
