Reconciliation Questions Answered

Which settlement report format should I use?

Use the Settlement Report V2 (Flat File). It contains the most detail and is required for proper fee categorization. Available in Reports → Payments → Settlement Reports.

How does this compare to A2X?

This tool provides similar fee categorization to A2X but as a one-time conversion rather than subscription. You get journal entries with proper debits/credits for each settlement.

Will gross sales match my 1099-K?

Yes. We record gross sales before fees. The total Credits to your sales account for the year should match Amazon's 1099-K gross amount.

How People Use This

Amazon settlement reports group transactions by payout date, but QuickBooks records them by order date. The reconciliation tool cross-references both timelines and identifies the $200-500 variance that always appeared at month-end. Turns out it was pending refunds — now I catch them before closing.

Amazon's settlement lumps 600+ transactions into one bank deposit. I'd see $8,400 hit my checking account and have no idea how to break that down in QuickBooks. Referral fees, FBA pick-and-pack, storage, advertising — it was all buried. Now every fee type lands in its own expense account and my P&L actually tells me where the money goes.

The worst reconciliation issue is Amazon reserves. They withhold funds one settlement period and release them the next, creating a mismatch that confuses every client. The tool separates reserve movements from actual sales so the clearing account in QuickBooks stays clean and clients stop panicking over the difference.

One client sells on Amazon US, UK, and Canada. Each marketplace has different fee structures and settlement currencies. I was spending a full day converting CAD and GBP settlements, adjusting for exchange rate differences that created $0.01-$0.03 rounding gaps on every transaction. The tool handles the fee decode so I only need to deal with the currency side.

Our Amazon 1099-K never matched QuickBooks because we were recording net deposits as revenue instead of gross sales minus fees. The tool generates proper journal entries with gross sales on the credit side and all fee categories as debits. Our 1099-K reconciliation went from a three-day project to a 20-minute review.

Why Amazon Reconciliation Is Challenging

The Settlement Report Nightmare

Amazon deposits a single lump sum representing hundreds of transactions. Your bank shows $5,000 deposited, but understanding what that includes is nearly impossible. The Settlement Report has 30+ fee types: referral fees, FBA pick/pack, weight handling, storage, advertising, refunds, reimbursements, and more.

How This Tool Helps

We decode Amazon Settlement Reports into proper Journal Entries: - Gross sales credited to Revenue - FBA fees, referral fees, and other fees debited to respective expense accounts - Refunds reduce revenue - Net settlement matches your bank deposit Each entry balances (Debits = Credits), and you get complete visibility into Amazon's fee structure in your P&L.

Yes! Amazon uses tab-separated format by default. We detect and handle both TSV (.txt) and CSV formats automatically.
Amazon deposits net payouts after deducting referral fees, FBA fees, storage charges, and other marketplace expenses. The difference between gross sales and net deposit equals all fees and adjustments for that settlement period.
A clearing account temporarily holds Amazon revenue until funds transfer to your actual bank. It lets you reconcile the complete settlement (sales minus fees) against the actual bank deposit amount.
Reserve balances are funds Amazon withholds to cover refunds and disputes. Record them as a current asset in QuickBooks, separate from sales and fees. They're released back to you over 14-90 days.
No, Amazon settlement reports need to be broken down and categorized before importing. Each fee type and transaction category must go to its correct QuickBooks account for accurate reconciliation.
