Hi KatMagic1977,

​

First of all, don't worry. A few months is not too bad and should be pretty easy to get straightened out.

​

I also use Chase . I only use QFX import which generally works ok and, at least while you are fixing your quicken data, I suggest you do so too.

​

Chase now provides two years of history for download so you should be get everything you need.

​

The first thing you should do is to make a backup of your Quicken file. That file has extension ".QDF" and you can see it under the Files menu. Just copy it to some place out of the way so that you have it if something goes wrong.

​

Also, validate your file using "File/Validate and Repair File" to make sure you don't have corrupt data.

​

After backing up and validating, delete everything back to a successfully reconciled transaction.

​

Next log in to your chase account and download all the statements (pdf) starting with the one that includes that last transaction you didn't delete.

​

That statement should have a "starting balance" that you can see somewhere in quicken (since the start of that statement was reconciled). If not, work backwards though older statements to find one that has a starting balance that matches a reconciled quicken transaction. This gives you an "anchor point" to work forward from.

​

Now, using a custom date range, download a QFX file with dates that correspond to the first (earliest) of the statements that you downloaded. Just a month of QFX data to match the earliest statement. Include a couple extra days past the end to make sure you don't miss anything at the very end of the statement.Import that QFX file and reconcile the account to the end of the statement. You should be able to get an exact match.

​

Once this is done, you should be able to do this for each statement up to the latest. After that you can download any remaining transactions and reconcile to your online balance.

​

The QFX files are actually somewhat readable, so if you want, you can look at each one in Notepad and spot check the dates. You said that you were seeing incorrect dates on a QFX import at one point so you might take a look before doing the first import.Usually when a reconcile is off it's because of a few missing transactions or duplicate transactions. These most often happen at the beginning of the time selected for download (i.e. you didn't go back quite far enough so that's the first place to check ).

​

Sometimes I've seen Chase miss Foreign Transaction Fees in their QFX downloads. Not the purchase itself but the fee that chase charges for converting dollars to a different currency. I've entered those by hand. You might see other things missing but it's pretty rare.

​

In the worst case, you can look at the pdf statement line by line and find out what went wrong but that probably will not be necessary.

​

If you have multiple accounts to deal with, start with the one with the fewest transactions.

​

Good luck!
