The ability to customize and categorize expenses helps you track them in a way that aligns with your unique business needs and accounting practices. I'd be glad to show you the steps to create your category for your entries, sseventing1.
Before doing so, as you're adding a new category in QuickBooks Online (QBO) the system pre-defines the account and detail type. If you're uncertain about which account and detail types to select, I recommend consulting with your accountant to make the most suitable choice.
Here's how:
1. Go to the Transactions menu in QBO.
2. Find the transaction you want to categorize.
3. Click on the category in the Category column.
4. At the bottom of the category list, select Add New.
5. Enter a name for your new custom category.
6. Select the appropriate tax settings for the new category.
7. Click Save to create the new custom transaction category.
