Hi mel14,
If you do not already have an expense account within your chart of accounts that you wish to assign this to then you can create a new one by going to accounting > chart of accounts > new.
You could create an account, for example Account type - 'Other expense', Detail Type - 'Other expense', *Name 'Training', and then select this account on the category drop-down when entering the expense transaction.

Thanks

We're so happy to have you back, Nicola.
The steps provided by my colleague above is applicable in QuickBooks Online version.
For Self-Employed, we can record the amount of the training and and select the correct category. This way, the calculation will be included to your self employed taxes.
Here are the steps that will surely walk you through the process:
You can take a look at these articles for additional information:
Thanks for clarifying the version you're using right now. If you have additional question, you can post them here anytime. It'd be my pleasure to help and provide you further information about QuickBooks Self-Employed. Take care!
We are not allowed to customize a category in QB self-employed and there is no option related to trainings, so how do we do?
Hello Fabirose, we are unable to tell you what category to put it against however if you have a look at this link here it should help you decide, if you are still unsure you will need to contact an accountant or HMRC who will be able to adviser you on this more.
Hi,
I'm having the same issue.
The document you sent a link to provides no information on which quickbooks category might relate to training.
I am disappointed that the 'Quickbooks Self-employed' is so limited and does not let you create your own expense categories
I know how important it is to categorise your expenses accurately, edrookie.
Let me make it up to you by ensuring that you'll be guided on the correct category to choose.
In QuickBooks Self-Employed, expense categories line up with the Schedule C tax form. When you categorise a transaction, the program matches the correct line on the form.
Currently, there isn't an option to customise and provide a category related to training. I'd suggest consulting an accountant for recommendations on how to handle this type of situation. If you don't have one, you can use our Find-an-Accountant tool to look for an expert near you.
Additionally, I've included our QuickBooks Self-Employed Overview article for future reference. There, you can see how the program helps you track everything throughout the year.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about managing your transactions. I'm always here to help you out. Take care!
