I got you covered, @usersunnierpalms. I can help you delete an account in QuickBooks.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can delete an account by making it inactive. QuickBooks makes accounts inactive instead of deleting them, so you can access past transaction data for reporting purposes.
Here's how:
Go to the Gear icon and select Chart of Accounts.
Locate the account you want to delete.
Click the Action dropdown andchoose Make inactive.
Then, hit Yes to confirm.
In addition, check out these articles about making your account active again and find out which default accounts you can delete, edit, or merge:
Furthermore, you can visit this link for future reference in handling accounts so it always matches your bank and credit card statements: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.
Please feel free to reach out in this thread if you need more help with managing your accounts. I'd love to assist you further.
To start, could you please provide more details about your concern? This way, i can offer a more targeted solution. I'd like to clarify what you meant by the statement "popping up on my taxes." Are you referring to disconnecting the QuickBooks Online (QBO) account from a tax software? However, if you meant something else, please feel free to add them below.
