    Hi tryingtoeval 

     

    Having a tax code does not prevent an account from being deleted. Using an account as the linked account for a tax code does prevent account deletion. For example if account 2-2222 is the linked account for GST paid, account 2-2222 cannot be deleted. You need to go to the tax code (Lists > Tax codes) select GST and change the linked account to 2-2223. If there are no transactions linked to a/c 2-2222, you should now be able to delete account 2-2222.

     

    If this does not work for you, take screen shots showing the linked accounts for the tax code as well as the message you receive when trying to delete. Someone might then be able to see what is causing the issue.
