Question

I’ve updated my quickbooks version to the latest version and it still does not allow me to make a sub category. It’s very frustrating.

How do I add subcategories when it does not give me the option?

Hello, @ScissorHaus.

 

QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) doesn't support adding subcategories because it categorizes transactions based on Schedule C.

 

Schedule C or Form 1040 reports your self-employed income and expenses. When you categorize, QuickBooks puts your transactions on the correct line of your Schedule C. It also organizes your income and expenses so you know what areas of your self-employed business have the most impact.

 

To learn more about Schedule C categories, you can visit this article: Schedule C and expense categories in QuickBooks Solopreneur and QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

In case you want to make and utilize rules to quickly categorize your entries, check out this article for more guidance: Create rules to speed up reviews in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

I'm still all ears if you've got additional QBSE-related concerns. Just leave a reply to this thread, and I'll be around to help. Take care.

There should at least be a category for Payroll. I might have to switch to a different system.
