Bank of America · Month-End Cutoff Split
Bank of America statement cutoff for bank reconciliation
A Bank of America statement follows the bank's own cycle — and that cycle almost never ends on calendar month-end. EasyStatementSheet turns one Bank of America PDF into two files: a pre-cutoff file for the current-period reconciliation and a post-cutoff outstanding/in-transit file, so month-end ties out on the first try.
Worth knowing: cycle dates at Bank of America can differ by account type. Always anchor the cutoff to your book close date (calendar month-end) rather than the statement date.

Splitting a Bank of America statement, step by step
- Drop in the Bank of America statement PDF and STE figures out the statement period automatically.
- Switch on Period-End Cutoff Export, then point the cutoff at your month-end.
- Grab both downloads: the pre-cutoff file plus the post-cutoff OUTSTANDING file (it includes a Cutoff Status column).
Why does my Bank of America statement end mid-month instead of at month-end?
Because Bank of America closes statements on its own billing cycle — frequently anchored to the day the account was opened — rather than on the calendar month. That's how you end up with a statement running the 4th of one month through the 3rd of the next, straddling your close. The fix: reconcile to your book close date and record the overlap as a cutoff adjustment.
What's the right way to split a Bank of America statement at month-end?
Pick the calendar month-end that falls inside the statement period as your cutoff. Everything dated through that day goes into the current-period reconciliation; everything dated after is outstanding/in-transit and moves to the next period. EasyStatementSheet handles the mechanics for you — upload the Bank of America PDF, choose the cutoff, and grab both files.
Will QuickBooks take the Bank of America cutoff file?
It will — the pre-cutoff file uses the standard column layout QuickBooks Online expects under Banking → Upload transactions. If you'd rather import a native .qbo file, head to the Bank of America QBO page.
