A vehicle has been set up with Costs and Depreciation under Long Term Assets and should be Property and Equipment. Can I edit the chart of accounts to correct this?

Yes, we can edit the chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @office338. Since this involves changing the accounting type, it's recommended to consult with a qualified accounting professional.

 

It is to ensure that the accounts align with accounting standards and that you receive proper guidance on structuring them to track costs and depreciation using the appropriate methods accurately.

 

Once you and your accountant have finalized the changes, you can follow these steps to edit your account:

 

  1. Go to Accounting and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Locate the account you'd like to edit.
  3. Click the dropdown arrow next to Account History or Run Report (depending on the account).
  4. Select Edit.
  5. Make all desired changes, and then select Save and Close.
