Can you add a category under expense?

Hi there, liberato-d-lupo.

Allow me to walk you through adding an expense category in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

To do so, you'll need to create a new account in the Chart of Accounts.

Here's how:

1. On the left navigation panel, hover on Transactions.
2. Select Chart of Accounts.
3. Click the +New button.
4. Pick Expenses on the Account Type dropdown.
5. Enter a name to track your expense account in the Name field. For example, "Safety Supplies". You could also add a description if you wish.
6. Hit Save and Close.

I've added a screenshot below for your reference.

The Detail Type dropdown contains preset choices on the costs associated with the account. For the best guidance in choosing the proper detail type, I recommend consulting an accountant. This will ensure your books and records are accurate. If you don't have one, you can use our accountant tool to locate a nearby professional.
