Can the employing entity in payroll be different from the main entity (two separate companies) in the one qbo file? How does that effect Single Touch Payroll?

Hi there, william-rbteam-c.

Thank you for reaching out to us.

When setting up Single Touch Payroll in the ATO Settings,  you have options and different steps if you are setting up as the employer,  as a registered Tax/BAS Agent, or as an intermediary for multiple employing entities.  You may refer on this link for  a more  detailed information on setting up Single Touch Payroll and lodging reports to ATO as a registered tax/BAS agent, please visit this website: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-au/pay-schedules/how-do-i-enable-single-touch-payroll...

I hope this is what you’re looking for.
