I'm setting up the "Online Simple Start" for my nonprofit, and I'm trying to following the instructions for "Set up and record in-kind donations in QuickBooks Online".
Under "Step 3: Create a clearing account", it states to "In the Account Type dropdown, select Cash and cash equivalents". However, this doesn't appear in the dropdown for account type.
