Working Trial Balance

Hello there, @KristiP1.

You can customize your Trial Balance report so it will only show the active accounts. I can guide you on how to do it.

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Scroll down to the Accountant & Taxes section.
3. Select Trial Balance.
4. Click the Customize Report button.
5. From the Filters tab, locate the Accounts section.
6. Choose Multiple Accounts from the Account drop-down.
7. Mark the accounts you want to include in the report. 
8. Click the Ok button.

Once completed, you can save the customization you've created for future use. You can read through this article for more detailed steps: Create, access, and modify memorized reports

Lastly, I've added these articles to help you manage your balance sheet and chart of accounts:

• Learn about the chart of accounts in QuickBooks
• Fix a Balance Sheet that's out of balance
• Advanced troubleshooting for balance sheets out of balance

Drop by here again if you have other questions about generating financial reports in QuickBooks. I'm always here to help.

I have not found a way to do this with the Working Trial Balance, but this is close:

If you go to the report section, under Accountant & Tax and Select "Adjusted Trial Balance" you can then customize this report as follows:

Under filters, select "Multiple Accounts", then in the pop-up window you will see a list of accounts, however this list will Only Be Active Accounts", so if you check All Accounts, it will only be All Active Accounts.  Any account that has prior year activity, but not in the current year, I mark inactive.  Running the account as described above will print a Trial Balance with only active accounts.
