Hi, Can you tell me how to create ledger for Credit Card Account? What should be the type, detailed Type for Credit cards? Should it be like a bank account or liability?

I appreciate you joining the QuickBooks forum and sharing the details of your concern about creating a ledger for your credit card account. I'm here to share information and steps you can follow to help you achieve your goal.

The chart of accounts is a list of all of your accounts in QuickBooks. You can add more accounts any time you need to track other types of transactions. Here's how to add more accounts to your chart of accounts:

1. Go to Settings ⚙ and pick Chart of Accounts.
2. Choose New to create a new account.
3. In the Account Type ▼ dropdown, choose an account type.
4. In the Detail Type ▼ dropdown, select the detail type that best fits the transactions you want to track. Learn more about detail types.
5. Give your new account a name.
6. Add a description.
7. If this is a subaccount of an existing account, select Is sub-account and then enter the parent account. Learn more about parent accounts and subaccounts.
8. Ensure the account in QuickBooks matches your real-life bank or credit card account. Choose when you want to start tracking your finances. In the Balance field, enter the amount in the account, and determine the as of date. Enter today's date if you want to start tracking immediately.
9. Click Save and Close.
