Making a credit card a sub-account after the fact

Worked like a charm. Thank you so much.

Now all we have to do is figure out the convoluted way that payments are applied by BOA.

This was very helpful, but once the account is disconnect it no longer shows up in the banking section to continue editing transactions. How do I get this to come back or do I need to wait until I am done with the account then disconnect and reconcile?

This worked great to disconnect the account and make it into the proper sub account. The only problem I have now is that I cannot edit transactions any longer in the account. It has been removed from the banking section when I go there to find it to continue editing. Do I need to just finish all the editing first then disconnect and reconcile? Or is there another solution?

Yes, that's correct. If you disconnect your bank account, any bank transactions waiting to be categorized will be removed. Please make sure that there are no pending transactions before disconnecting your bank account. Alternatively, you can also take note of those transactions and if it's beyond 90 days. Then, you can manually upload them.

Step 1: Download CSV file from your bank:

1. Sign in to your bank or credit card's website.
2. Follow your bank's instructions on downloading CSV files. Every financial institution has different steps. Here are steps for Bank of America, Chase, and Wells Fargo.
3. Check the date range for the download. It should be at least one day before the date of your oldest transaction.
4. Download your bank transaction and ensure to save the file somewhere you can easily find it.

Step 2: Upload bank transaction:

1. Go to the Banking or Transaction menu, then select the Banking tab.
2. Locate the bank account you want to upload the transactions into.
3. Click the Link account dropdown and choose Upload from file.
4. Select Browse and then locate the file you downloaded from your bank. Then select Next.
5. In the QuickBooks account dropdown, click the account you want to upload the transactions into. Then Next.
6. Follow the onscreen steps to match the columns on the file with the correct fields in QuickBooks. Then Next.
7. Checkmark the transactions you would like to import. Then select Next.
8. Click Yes.
9. Once done, hit Let's go.

Ok, that makes sense. Is there anyway to reconnect the accounts I disconnected to go back and finish categorizing transactions instead of starting over? 

You can reconnect the sub-accounts to download transactions automatically, shineglassrenewal.

However, make sure to disconnect the parent one so you can re-connect the sub-account.

If you don't want to perform this process, you can download transactions from your bank. Then, manually import them to QuickBooks.

Once your transactions are posted on the Banking page, you can match and categorize them. 

I'm also adding this link to learn more about adding multiple accounts: About bank or credit card subaccount setup. It includes connecting them to online banking.
