How do I reactivate an account into my Chart of Accounts?

Go to the gear icon within your chart of accounts list and select the box to "include inactive", then make the inactive account active again

Welcome to the Community, connie-barber. I can show you how to reactive an account in your Chart of Accounts.

Here's how an account can be reactivated with just a few clicks in QuickBooks Online:

1. Click Accounting on the left navigation menu and choose Chart of Accounts.
2. Select the small Gear icon above the Action column and choose Include inactive.
3. Click Make active next to the inactive account.

I've included a brief video to serve as an example of this:

I recommend the following article for additional insight into this process, such as what happens when an account is made inactive: How to Delete an Account or Restore a Deleted Account.

As always, I'm just a quick post away if you should need anything. Hope you have a good weekend.
