QuickBooks solopreneur does not even give you a chart of accounts! Absolute scam nothing but a scam.

I know how essential it is to meet your accounting needs when choosing accounting software to help you carry out related tasks, robertoooo. Allow me to provide an alternative so you can navigate through your chart of accounts.
 

Please know that QuickBooks Solopreneur doesn't have a chart of accounts where you can customize your account. It only uses predefined categories, as its tax filing capabilities are designed for ‘Schedule C’ (form 1040) filers.
 

To utilize the chart of accounts feature, you'll want to upgrade to QuickBooks Online. It allows you to add and modify an account in your chart of accounts when needed. Aside from that, several features are available to further enhance your business process with different accounting tools.

 

Here's how to upgrade your plan:

 

  1. Sign in to QuickBooks Solopreneur as a primary or company admin.
  2. Head to the Gear icon at the top right corner.
  3. Select Subscriptions and billing, then ensure your payment information is updated.
  4. Pick Upgrade your plan in the QuickBooks Solopreneur section.
  5. Click Choose plan for your preferred subscription level.
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

 

On the other hand, ensure scanning this material for the vital details to note before the upgrade: Learn what changes when you upgrade from QuickBooks Solopreneur to other QuickBooks Online editions.

 

Once you're all set up, you can explore these materials to familiarize yourself when navigating QBO:

I am a bookkeeper and none of my QuickBooks clients find any use for the solopreneur and their other basic offers because the people that work at intuit don't run a business or know what is necessary features.  Most off-putting is that they put purchase orders as a plus subscription only, kind of silly since purchase orders is a basic feature.  Intuit clearly doesn't know which features should be in different levels so I understand your frustration.

 

Another frustration is as someone who has used QuickBooks since 2003 both desktop and online, they have spent most of their time talking to CPA's and not business owners or even a knowledgeable bookkeeper like myself that handles day to day operations.  They designed QuickBooks to be so confusing and not user friendly that most of my clients are asking for alternatives.  When you call QuickBooks support, they know nothing about the product, several times the support people have tried clearing all my browser data and it did not fix the problem and I had to spend hours logging back into everything.

You should not release bait and switch absolute garbage. Accounting software with no chart of accounts? Go fly a kite.
