Delete Accounts

You may want to delete an account if you added it incorrectly or imported it accidentally.

An account record spans across tax years, so if you delete it in one year, it will be deleted from all other tax years. When you delete an account, it is removed permanently from the system. There is no way to undo this action – you will need to contact TaxLab Support for assistance.
