We're pleased to have you here in the Community, Cathy. I can discuss information about adding accounts in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE). I'll include the details here for clarification.

 

Please know that QBSE doesn't have a chart of accounts where you can create an income account to track your sales transactions. The software allows you to track the financial dealings of your business with relevant categories from your Schedule C to ensure accurate calculation of your estimated taxes.

 

Therefore, you'll want to consider switching to QuickBooks Online (QBO). It allows you to add an account from your chart of accounts when necessary. Also, several features are available to help you carry out different business tasks seamlessly.

 

To begin with, secure a copy of your financial reports in QBSE for safekeeping. Here's how:

 

  1. Select Reports, then Tax details
  2. Choose a tax year and hit Download.
  3. You can download a report for each year.
  4. Repeat the mentioned steps for Profit and Loss, Mileage Log, and Receipts.

 

After that, proceed to Step 2: Copy your data to QuickBooks Online in this article to complete the process: Switch from QuickBooks Self-Employed to QuickBooks Online.

 

Once you're all set up, you can explore these materials to familiarize yourself when navigating QBO:
