Overview

The type qualifier lets you organize the client type into different categories. For example, if the client type is an entity (business), the client type qualifiers can be Corporate, S-Corp, Partnership, Estate, etc. 

If the client type is a person, the type qualifier can be Individual, Sole Proprietor, etc.

These are just suggestions. You can add any client type qualifiers that you want. There are two ways to add client type qualifiers: when adding a client or in the Account Settings. See Understanding Clients, Client Types, and Type Qualifiers for more information.
