How do I remove accounts from a template used to set up my chart of accounts? ie Trust Income. I tried to mark this account inactive but it won't allow me to do so.

Hi there, vgleeson.

 

Accounts that are part of your initial QuickBooks Online setup can't be inactivated or deleted to ensure accurate financial reporting.

 

While some accounts cannot be inactivated or deleted, QuickBooks does offer flexibility with many other account types.

 

To help you understand how to manage different types of accounts in your QuickBooks Chart of Accounts (COA), check out this resource: Manage default and special accounts in your QuickBooks Online chart of accounts.

 

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or need additional clarification.
