I'm here to share some insights about adding new categories, dustin-hintz.
Creating new categories in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) isn't available. As a workaround, you can choose the closest tagging in the system or reach out to your tax adviser. They'll be able to provide you with which category is suitable.
For now, we renamed existing expense categories and created new ones in QuickBooks based on your feedback. This should help you organize your expenses more accurately. To learn more, please see this article: Update yo Expense Categories.
For more information on how to categorize your QuickBooks Self-Employed transactions, I encourage checking our Schedule C Categories.
