I would like to "undo" a subaccount in the chart of accounts and have it be independent.  Can anyone help me?

Hello, Toeknees.

 

I'm here to share information about undoing or editing subaccounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

To undo a subaccount, you can go directly to the Chart of Accounts (COA) and edit it from there. Before we proceed, make sure you’re in Accountant view.

 

Once done, please refer to these steps on how to do it:

 

  1. In QBO, go to the Gear (Settings) icon at the top right.
  2. Select Chart of Accounts.
  3. Locate the subaccount to change.
  4. From the Action column dropdown menu, click Edit.
  5. In the Save account under ▼ dropdown, choose a new account type.
  6. In the Tax form section ▼ dropdown, pick the appropriate detail type.
  7. Hit Save. You are prompted that changing the Account Type may affect your accounting and reporting.
  8. Select Yes in the prompt to change the account.

 

To learn more about managing subaccounts in QBO, consider checking out this article: Change the type of an existing parent account or subaccount in QuickBooks Online.

 

I'm also adding this article that tackles about COA for more information: Learn about the chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online.
