Does anyone know how to properly connect a Bank of America Corp Account credit card that uses the credit card as a sub account and the Corp Account as the parent account?

Thanks @BettyJaneB for the reply.  However, my experience seems to be totally different and I don't know if it's because of the bank or what.  I spent two days and hours on the phone with QBO support trying to figure this out and they couldn't find a solution.  It wasn't until I did the opposite of what should be done.  I set up the parent account and the sub-account, no problem. When I connected only the sub account, the QBO balance on the bank balance would never match.  However, now that I've connected the parent account, and disconnected the sub account, the transactions and the balances match. 

Like I said, I don't know if it's the bank or what.  But all the transactions occur at the sub account level.  Payments are only applied to the parent account level.  And the balances from the sub account is moved to the parent account.    I have 2 accounts set up this way - a Parent and a Sub.  In one, the parent and sub act registers mirror each other sans the payments.  In the other, the sub account register is blank and all the transactions are in the parent.  Either something is a miss - or it's working just right.  I can't tell.  I do want to add though, that in the set of accounts where there are no sub acct transactions, yesterday, I added them all manually to the parent via csv file upload, and today edited the names of the accounts to make them match the parent/sub acct classification.  This could be why there are no transactions in the sub account.  I don't know.  

Thanks for looping in, skmx.

I appreciate you joining in this thread. Let me provide additional information regarding connecting a sub-account in QuickBooks Online.

As referenced by my peer above, before connecting to Online Banking, you need to know how your bank sends the downloaded transactions. If the transactions download to one account, connect only the parent account. If the transactions download to the individual accounts, connect the sub-accounts and not the parent account.

Some banks may show the overall bank balance at each sub-account level. This is because the bank provides us with a static balance of the entire account, not the balance of each sub-account.

You can get more details in the following articles:

• About bank or credit card subaccount setup.
• Organize your accounts into parent accounts and subaccounts.

• Add transactions to bank register.

For now, as a workaround, you can download transactions from your bank's website and upload them to QuickBooks Online using the WebConnect feature.

Hi,

I was just experiencing the same problem, but the solution you suggest about linking only the sub account does not bring in the payments made to parent account.  So the only workaround with the least amount of work that i found is doing what you suggest and then when assigning the CC payments in the checking account, those get added manually for the purposes of reconciling!  But you would still need the statements from parent account as the sub accounts in BofA do not have a Statements tab.
