Welcome to the Community, @Soccertreasurer.

In QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), the ability to pick a specific account to include in the budget is currently unavailable. All active accounts in the Chart of Accounts will automatically show when creating one.

In the meantime, only enter some information on the account that you need and just leave the others as blank as a workaround.

I can see how having this option would be helpful for you and your organization. Rest assured that I'll pass along your suggestion to our Product Developers. They're always looking for ideas to consider on how to improve QuickBooks.

Just in case, I'll add this article for future reference: Create a budget or forecast in QuickBooks Desktop.

Please let me know if you have any other issues or concerns, and I'll return to you as soon as possible. I'm always here to help. Have a great rest of the day!
