Hi Thebkkb, 

 

Personally, I wouldn't be bother much with the detail types when creating chart of accounts in QBO. Unlike account types, detail types don’t impact the actual accounting portion of your books. Detail types are there to help you choose the right account type, especially if you’re new to accounting. 

 

When I'm caught in a situation where I'm unsure what detail type to use, I usually go with the closest or most neutral one. In this case (with equity accounts), I go with Owner's Equity. Hope this helps!
