Thanks for sharing this here in the forum, @Treblero2014. I'll be here to share some insights about retained earnings in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
The Retained Earnings account comprises the total of a company's past years' income and expenses. Typically, you don't have to manually record the amount for the previous year, as QBO will automatically handle the transfer of the net income from the previous fiscal year to the Retained Earnings account at the start of a new fiscal year.
However, if you still want to record it manually, I recommend consulting with your accountant for further guidance.
