Why do inactive account showing deleted

Hello there, @AR413. Allow me to explain why the inactive account shows deleted when you run the profit and loss and ensure that this will be excluded when you run the report.

When you make the duplicate expense account inactive, it also means that you're deleting it, which is why it was tagged as deleted. You can visit this article for more information: Make an account inactive on your chart of accounts. 

The transactions previously associated with the account will still show in your financial reports, provided the account was active at the time of their posting.

Currently, there's no direct way to remove the inactive account when you run the Profit and Loss, but you can exclude them manually by customizing the report. 

To do so, please follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Reports menu, then double-click Profit and Loss.
2. Click Customize, then set your preferred date period. 
3. Click the Distribution Account dropdown. 
4. Choose Select All, then locate the inactive expense account and untick it.
5. Hit Run Report. 

I've added a screenshot for visual reference. 
 

Furthermore, you can memorize the reports you've customized. This way, you won't have to do the customization process again.
