Reconciled, Unreconciled and Not verifiable

A check compares two figures a return should agree on, such as a statement's items and the line they support. Each ends in one of three results.

Result	What it means
Reconciled	The figures agree.
Unreconciled	The figures don't agree. It shows Expected, Actual and Difference, and counts as a warning until you fix or accept it. A Schedule L line that doesn't match last year's says "Doesn't carry over".
Not verifiable	It couldn't run, so it's neither a pass nor a failure. The reason shows under it.

An Unreconciled check means a value was misread, or the return doesn't tie. Open it from the warnings banner's Review, or choose it in the return page's Reconciliation section. The review window shows its pages and "How it adds up": each side's values and total.

• A misread value: choose it, then Correct, and enter the amount the page prints. The check runs again, and turns Reconciled if it ties.
• The return doesn't tie as printed: choose Accept as printed, optionally add a note, and choose Accept as printed again. Don't correct a value just to make the check tie: that hides a real difference.

Not verifiable has three reasons:

• "Form 1125-E isn't required", or another form. The return needn't include that form; a small company may skip Schedule L.
• "The lines it compares weren't found in the return". The PDF may be missing pages.
• "The lines it compares are blank". The return prints the schedule but leaves those lines empty.

The workbook's Reconciliation tab shortens the reason, such as "Not verifiable (blank)". The project's own checks can also be Not verifiable when an EIN couldn't be read, the prior year is missing or on a different form, or either year's Schedule L is blank.

Good to know

• An accepted check keeps its result, the financials keep the printed amounts, and it stops counting as a warning.
• It records who accepted it, when, and the note, which the review window shows. The workbook still shows Unreconciled.
• Undo, in the review window, removes the acceptance.
• If a correction later changes the check's amounts, the acceptance ends.
• Anyone in your firm can accept, undo or correct.
• A Schedule L line that doesn't match last year's belongs to the project, not a return: it's "Doesn't carry over" in the project's warnings banner, and the returns' cards don't count it. Its Review shows both years' pages, to correct either year or accept as printed; after a correction, the line keeps the corrected amount, what was printed, and Undo. An acceptance lasts until either year's amount changes.
• The same-company check can't be accepted. It says "Compares returns, so it can't be accepted here".

If something goes wrong

• "This check can't be accepted now: its return isn't ready or the check changed. Refresh the page to see it as it is." A correction reran the checks since the page loaded.
• "This check can't be accepted now: its returns or amounts changed. Refresh the page to see it as it is." Either year changed since the page loaded.
• "This check can't be undone now: its return isn't ready or the check changed. Refresh the page to see it as it is." The return changed since the page loaded.
• "Your firm can't make changes right now." Your firm has no access, so checks are view-only.
