Which expense account to use?
I'm a photographer. When someone orders a print, into which account should I put the lab fees for printing? I don't think that's what the "printing and reproduction" account is intended for, so what is???

lab fees are a cost of sales transaction. Therefore, you would expense lab fees in the cost of goods section of your chart of accounts.



The chart of accounts is entirely yours to customize.
You can keep that account, or edit it to become a COS account, or set up your own new account.
