I have an account that has 2 sub-accounts.  I'd like to create 2 General Journal entries to zero out the sub-accounts and just use the master account.  

 

Files attached.  Thanks

Thanks for sharing a screenshot of your financial report, Barrykilz. 

 

I'll share with you the steps on how to create a journal entry in QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Company menu and select Make General Journal Entries.
  2. Fill out the fields to create your journal entry. Make sure your debits equal your credits when you’re done.
  3. Select Save or Save & Close.

 

You may also need to reach out to your accountant for further advice on using the right offsetting account. This is to make sure that the amounts are moved to the parent and to zero out the sub-accounts.

 

Check out this article about this feature for more details: Create a Journal Entry in QuickBooks Desktop for Windows or Mac.
