We have a rental property and will be completing Schedule E. The Expense Categories in Quickbooks Chart of Accounts do not align to Schedule E - how to address?

Great to see you here, @info-tangledroot.

I'm here to help you run and align Schedule E in QuickBooks Online.

We can edit the account and change the affected transaction to show to reflect it to Schedule E. 

Here's how:

 

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account and navigate to the Accounting menu.
2. Tap Chart of Accounts.
3. Locate the account you want to edit, then click the drop-down arrow under the ACTION column beside the View register link and hit Edit.
4. Change the name of your account under the Name field, then click Save and Close.

However, I'd suggest consulting an accountant to make sure you're using the correct category.
