Flexible Spending Account in Chart of Accounts

Does QBO Online have an account ready to track payment to a Flexible Spending Account in the chart of accounts? We do not use QBO Payroll as our payroll processor. I just need to track the amounts in the chart of accounts. Where would I need to add this? I'm assuming it goes under Payroll Expenses. What do you think? Thank you!

We're glad to have you here in the Community, John. We are always happy to assist you with any further information and help resolve any concerns you may have.

 

Yes, you can utilize the Payroll Expenses when adding an account to track a flexible spending account in your Chart of Accounts. However, it would be best to reach out to your accountant to ensure you're choosing the correct account types and detail types. If you're not affiliated with one, you can use our Find an Accountant tool to look for a Pro-Advisor near your area.
