As what @john-pero mentioned above, the income account is linked to the products/services you sell. The invoice doesn't have a specific field where you can select a particular income account.
Once you set up a product or service items, QuickBooks Desktop will ask you to select an income account (see screenshot below). This will be used to track and handle each transaction, so they'll translate to your Profit and Loss report.
All you need to do is create an invoice, then select the item you want to use. The program will automatically post it to the income account you've initially designated to the item.
