Do we not have the ability to add journal entries in Solopreneur (I am trying to add start-up expenses)?

Yes, Susan. Currently, QuickBooks Solopreneur doesn't have a journal entry feature.

To have this functionality, I recommend upgrading to QuickBooks Online. This version enables you to create journal entries that effectively track your start-up expenses.

Also, I suggest visiting this article to understand what will happen when you opt for this alternative: Learn about the changes that occur when you upgrade from QuickBooks Solopreneur to other QuickBooks Online editions.

To get started, follow these steps:

1. Head to the Gear icon, then choose Subscription and Billing.
2. Click Upgrade your plan and select your preferred plan.
