I have several accounts that I don't want connected to quickbooks...how do I delete them?

Thank you for joining the Community forum and sharing your concern about making an account inactive in your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online. I'll impart guidelines to help you successfully achieve this.

In QuickBooks Online, if you don't want to use an account anymore, you can make it inactive instead of deleting it so you can access past transaction data for reporting purposes. 

Before you start, reach out to your accountant. Make sure this change is good for you. Don't have an accountant? We can help you find one. Here are some accounts that require extra steps before you can make them inactive:

• If products or services use the account, change the account they are linked to. Or you can make products and services that use the account inactive.
• If you want to delete an income account with pending charges, invoice your customers for the billable expenses, time, or charges. Then, you can make the account inactive.
• If you have recurring transactions linked to an account, you need to unlink them.
• You can't deactivate accounts with subaccounts until you move the subaccounts.
• When deactivating an account, ensure that all service items related to the account in every transaction are modified accordingly.

When you're ready to make an account inactive:

1. Go to Settings ⚙ and select Chart of Accounts.
2. Find the account you want to delete.
3. Select the Action ▼ dropdown and select Make inactive.
