can you add categories?

Hello MickiV, 

Thanks for reaching out to us here. QuickBooks Self-Employed is a versatile program that helps you manage your work on the go. I'll be happy to share more info so you can get back to being the best at managing your business. 

QuickBooks Self-Employed doesn't offer the option to add categories at this time. I encourage you to check out this helpful article here that explains more about: Custom categories in QuickBooks Self-Employed. I recommend taking a look at QuickBooks Online as the program offers more flexibility that allows you to add categories. To learn more about the features and pricing in QB Online, check out this link here. 

In the meantime, feel free to ask other questions, I'm here to assist. :)
