You can add new accounts to your Account List as your business grows and changes.
To add a new account:
Click the Accounts tab in the main navigation bar to open the Accounts List.
Click New Account
Note that a subaccount must be the same type of account as the parent account. For example, if the parent account is an expense account, the subaccount must be an expense account.
Enter a unique name for the account or subaccount.
You can have a duplicate account name for a subaccount, if the parent account is different. The account name cannot include a colon (:).
(For subaccounts) Choose the parent account of this account. Here is an example of a parent with child accounts: Marketing might be the parent account and Advertising and Meals & Entertainment could be subaccounts. More
(Optional) Select the Schedule C tax line that you would like the entries recorded in this account reported on for year-end taxes*.
The menu for selecting a Schedule C Category is displayed for Revenue, Expense, Cost of Sales, Other Income and Other Expense accounts. If the activity in this account is tax-related, select the Schedule C Reporting Category that you would like the entries to be reported on for year-end taxes. If the activity in the account isn't tax-related, select "None" and the activity in the account won't be reflected on the Schedule C report. More
(Optional) Enter a description for the account.
(Optional) Enter an opening balance for the account. More
Change the date if the balance is as of a date other than today’s date. Note that you can’t enter a date until you enter an amount.
