Adding two Checking Accounts

Hello!

 

I am trying to add an additional checking account to my Quickbooks Online. I went to add account - put in bank information - checking.

 

It gives me the message "Checking is already linked to a bank feed. Select a QuickBooks account without an existing bank connection."

 

SO, I tried creating an account called Checking 2, but I still received the same message. 

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Adding two Checking Accounts

It's good to hear from you today, Gl201919.

 

I'm here to share some information regarding adding two checking accounts in QuickBooks Online.

 

This can trigger the error you get if you're trying to connect a parent and sub-account in QuickBooks. You'll only need to connect the account where your transactions are downloaded. If all transactions go the parent account, just connect the parent account. If they are downloaded to the individual sub-accounts, then you can connect sub-accounts.

 

To know more about this process, you can go through this article: About bank or credit card subaccount setup.

 

Additionally, you can visit these resources to help guide you in adding an account as well as categorising your transactions in QuickBooks:

If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know. I'll be happy to assist you further. Wishing you the best.
