Regarding the Idea Post at the bottom, I see it's closed and indicates that it was "Completed". Still, I find that these three (3) can't be deleted or the category name can't be edited.

Instead, when I click on them, it shows this…

I also don't see the ability to "Disable" them; truth be told, I don't see a way to "Disable" ANY Category. Maybe the original poster meant Delete?

For easier data entry, I'm adding a blue dot to all my business categories.

For any that I truly don't need, I want to do this Maybe someday I'll build up the nerve to delete them outright.

Has anyone else found they can't edit/delete these three specifically?

    Here's what I was told:  "Tip Income" is one of the business categories that cannot be deleted in Quicken as it's considered essential for business features. Other non-deletable categories include Business Income, Billable Expense Income, Discounts Given, Markup, Commission & Fees, Processing Fees, Office Expenses, Postage & Shipping, Other Expenses, and Bad Debt."

    AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!

    I don't have Tip Income, Discounts, Markup, Commissions, Processing Fees, or Bad Debt. I have my own chart of accounts. It is pretty long. These unwanted categories add clutter in what is supposed to be a simpler interface than QuickBooks Online, from which I transferred. Why are these categories non-deletable? Why?? Why?????

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
