Let's go through some troubleshooting procedures to address the issue with categories, @lch-executive.

 

Accumulated and excessive data stored on the regular browser may cause system performance issues, resulting in the categories not showing on your expenses. With this, you can utilize an incognito or private window in opening your QBO account, as it prevents the website from using these corrupted cache files.

 

Here are the keyboard shortcuts for easier access:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N
     

 

Then, check if the categories are already accessible. If it does, switch to your regular browser and clear its cache to refresh the website's preferences. Also, please consider using the other supported browsers or devices for the best and most secure experience.

 

On the other hand, if the issue remains, you could reach our Customer Care Support for further assistance. They'll be able to pull up your account securely and provide additional information to fix this.  

 

Here's how to reach them:

 

  1. Go to the Help menu, then select the Search tab.
  2. Click Contact Us.
  3. Choose a topic, then enter a brief description of your concern and hit Continue.
  4. Pick either Chat with us or Have us call you and start connecting with them.
     

 

Additionally, if you plan on paying for your expenses in the future, enter them as bills for accurate recording.

 

In case you want to keep track of your revenues and expenditures, QuickBooks offers a class tracking feature to manage them.

 

Following these steps and contacting our technical support will ensure you can enter transactions in QuickBooks without encountering issues in selecting a category. Feel free to return to this thread for any follow-up questions or further assistance.
