What are the default accounts in the chart of accounts in the QuickBooks online?

I'm glad to see you again here in the Community forum, Khurram1010.

 

Specific defaults accounts in the Chart of Accounts are created depending on the business entity you'll set up. You can browse this link to see the list and what you can and can't do to them: Manage default and special accounts in your QuickBooks Online Chart of Accounts.

 

If you need to add new accounts, here are the steps.

 

  1. Go to Settings and select Chart of accounts.
  2. Click New
  3. Enter a name in the Account name field.
  4. Select the type of account.
  5. Select Save.

 

You can browse this article for additional information: Learn how to set up and add accounts to your chart of accounts. It has a video tutorial as your visual guide.

 

The good news is we have a sample company account that you can play around without messing up your real company file. Use this link as your guide: https://qbo.intuit.com/redir/testdrive

 

Also, you can browse this link to see the table of accounts based on your business type: List of Chart of Accounts Templates for QuickBooks Online companies.

What are the default accounts in the chart of accounts in the QuickBooks online?

When I started my QBO account, I chose the Industry "All other amusement and recreation industries". When I look at my Chart of Accounts, only about 35 (before linking my bank accounts) of the 250 default accounts are listed. My Quick Start Expert said she had never seen this before and that is must be due to the Industry chosed. I tried changing my Industry to see if it would add in the other accounts, but it didn't. She contacted her support staff, but they didn't understand what happened either. What can I do to get the other default accounts added to my Chart of Accounts?

 

Thank you!
