I accidentally signed up for the plan that is for self-employed companies however I wanted to sign up for the simple plan for $8 a month promo. How do I switch?

Hello sara43.

QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Self-Employed are two separate platforms and subscriptions. Hence, we won't be able to switch or convert what you've sign up for.

Here's how we can do:

1. Cancel your QuickBooks Self-Employed account.
2. Sign up for QuickBooks Online Simple Start using your existing Intuit account. You can sign up using a different account if you want.

To cancel your QBSE account, you can follow the easy steps in this article: Cancel your QuickBooks Self-Employed subscription.

After that, you can already sign up for QBO Simple Start plan:

1. Log out from your QBSE or any Intuit account.
2. Go to this link to see the plans and pricing: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/pricing/#.
3. Select Simple Start and click Buy now.
4. You can create a new Intuit account. If you want to use the existing one, click the Sign in hyperlink next to Adding a company to an existing account? at the bottom.
5. Enter your billing details and complete the setup.

You can also use this for reference: Create a new company and add subscriptions.

We'll be right here if you need more assistance in signing up for a new account. Have a great day!

If you have to open a new QBO account, make sure to click the Buy button to get the discounted price for up to 6 months. If you purchase from the trial account, you have to pay the regular price.

The Simple Start option does not appear in this link. Where can I find it? I tried searching and I can't find it anywhere.

Hello Ca17, 

If you're unable to sign up for the Simple Start plan through the QuickBooks website, I'd recommend contacting our Sales Support Team. They set it up for you. The contact information is available in the link I've mentioned above. 

After that, you can continue switching from QBSE to QBO. You can use this additional link to complete the process: Switch from QuickBooks Self-Employed to QuickBooks Online.

We'll be right here if you need anything else.

Where is your company located? If you are located in Canada, the name of the lowest QBO plan is EasyStart.
