I can show you how to remove those entries from your Profit and Loss report, @userafthamill.

 

The Profit and Loss report shows your income, expenses, and net income. To delete those entries, you can either make those accounts inactive if there were no transactions or filter the report and choose the accounts that you'd like to include only.

 

You can make that account inactive. It works like deleting it. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Choose Chart of Accounts under Your Company
  3. Find the account you want to delete.
  4. Select the dropdown in the Action column, then choose Make Inactive.
  5. Click Yes to confirm the action.

Here's a reference on how to delete an account on your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online

 

 

To filter the report not to include the account:

 

  1. Go to the Reports tab and select run the report.
  2. Click on the Customize button.
  3. Go to the Filter dropdown and click on the Distribution Account dropdown and choose the accounts that you'd only like to include. 
  4. Select Run report once you're done.

You can save that customization by memorizing reports in QuickBooks Online.
