I can guide you through changing the name of an item in your Chart of accounts, @cmarker243

 

We can change the name of the account (Trip to Lebanon) in the chart of accounts by editing them and putting the correct name (Church Sponsored Trips). However, we also need to ensure that this account you want to change isn't one of the accounts that can't be deleted in the chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. On the left panel, go to the Transactions menu, and select Chart of accounts
  2. Look for the Trip to Lebanon account. 
  3. Beside the View register dropdown, click Edit. 
  4. On the Edit Account page, edit the Trip to Lebanon under the Account name*. 
  5. Once done, click Save.

 

After this, you'll want to go back to the Chart of accounts and check if changed already. 

 

Moreover, I've included this article for you to check if you want to learn how to make accounts inactive from your chart of accounts: Make an account inactive on your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online.
