I have Quickbooks Online. For Quickbooks Software monthly subscription, would the correct expense category be Taxes and Licensing or Other Business Expenses?

Hi @hotshot20 , taxes and licensing expense. If you connect QBO to your bank account, check bank transaction was it record as taxes and licensing through your subscription. In QBSE, automatically categorize subscription as taxes and licensing expenses if your bank account is connected to online banking. Comment back, cheers.

Hello. I do have it connected to my bank account but it lists it sometimes as other business expense. But I can set a rule to have it categorized as Taxes and Licenses right?

Yes, you can definitely do it, hotshot20.

 

You can set up bank rules to automatically categorize regular recurring transactions even if they are slightly different each month. I'll show you how to it:

 

  1. Select Banking from the sidebar menu, then go to the Rules tab.
  2. Click New rule.
  3. Enter a name in the Rule field.
  4. From the For dropdown menu, select Money in or Money out.
  5. From the In drop-down menu, select the bank or credit card account.
  6. Set the rule conditions.
  7. Go to the Then assign section, then select Expense from the Transaction type drop-down menu.
  8. Make sure to choose Taxes and Licenses from the Category drop-down menu, then enter the appropriate payee.
  9. Click Save when you're done.

Once you're all set up, the program puts the transactions in the Recognized section of the For Review tab. It also adds a "Rule" label to the transaction. You'll just have to select Add to move the transactions directly into an account.

 

If you want to automatically add this transaction to your books, you may toggle the Auto-add option on the Rules window.
