Thanks. I am an accountant and have been doing tax returns for 30 years. I have read the articles shown in the community "Learn about account types and detail types in QuickBooks Online" which has some information for a Schedule C self employed return; I am working on an S-Corporation return. When you chose an account type, QB online allows you to select an account detail, such as "Other Expense" type which allows you to select "Depreciation Expense" detail type. This is how you map to the tax return. When I imported my client, who was tax mapped in the desktop version, to QB online, all of the expenses were imported with one account type.
What I want is a list of account types and then what detail types are available for each account type. I cannot find this information and have to guess what detail types are hidden within an account type. "Expense" type has most of the normal expense detail types. I have noted that Other Expense type does not map for the tax return. I bit the bullet and spent 2 hours fixing this chart of accounts so I can then go on to the tax return. Yeah.
