QB Self Employed - Personal Categories/Accountant View

Hello Max79, 

Welcome to the Community page,

So the answer both your Questions 1 and 2 is no it is not possible to do either in Quickbooks self employed. You can only have accountant view is if you are an accountant. 

Thanks for the reply.

Do you know what QB version I would need to also be able to sub-categorise Personal transactions?

Max

Should you have any additional questions, please let me know. I'd be more than willing to lend you a hand. Have a good one.

I have this problem too. I want to separate types of income instead of everything just being Income. QBSE really needs a couple more options.
