I’ve got you covered, Jennifer. I’m here to provide you information about accounts so you can track transactions properly.
Your total monthly payment is 123.53, to be exact. And yes, selecting an account matters when recording transactions in QuickBooks Online. It makes sure everything is aligned, matches your statements, and help prevents issues during reconciliation.
Since you don’t see an appropriate account for your loan fees, you can create a new one. Here’s how you do it:
- Go to the Gear icon and then select Chart of Accounts.
- Press the New button.
- Choose an account type.
- Select the detail type that best fits the transactions you want to track.
- Give your new account a name, then add a description.
- If this is a sub-account of an existing account, select Is sub-account, then enter the parent account.
- Click Save and Close.
