When displaying Chart of Accounts, it will indent the sub-accounts with numbers. However, none of the reports can be modified to indent the sub-accounts, correct?

Thanks for posting here in the Community space, cpizzullo. Let me provide information regarding indenting the sub-accounts when running the report. 

 

QuickBooks Online (QBO) provides you with the functionality to create sub-accounts within your main account, which allows you to categorize and track your income, expenses, and other account types effectively. Although running a report through the Chart of Accounts will display all the accounts, it does not indent the sub-accounts to distinguish them from the main account. Instead, QBO uses a colon to display the relationship between the parent account and its sub-accounts, making it easy for you to identify which accounts are sub-accounts.

 

You can refer to the attached image below for a visual guide:

 

 

On the other hand, if you want to make an account inactive in the future, you may visit this guide to get a reference: Make an account inactive on your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online
