How can I add a detail type in accounts? For example, personal expenses - clothing? I can't find a detail type that fits.

Welcome to the Community, Amanda.

I recognize the need to add a detail type to ensure accuracy when tracking transactions by each account. However, this is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online.

In the meantime, you can utilize the nearest detail type for that specific transaction. You can also reach an accountant for further assistance.

On the other hand, I recommend sending suggestions directly to our product development team. Your suggestions can be considered in future updates to ensure the software meets different business needs.

Here's how:

1. Head to the Gear icon.
2. Select Feedback and enter your product improvement ideas.
3. Click Next to submit.

If you want to keep track of your product ideas, you can visit this website: Customer Feedback for QuickBooks Online.

Moreover, you might want to review this resource to understand how transactions are categorized on tax forms: Learn where QuickBooks Online detail types appear on your tax forms.
