Our entity is changing from a Partnership to an 1120S Corporation, we will not need to change our FEIN.  We do not process our payroll through QB Online.  We only need to change the Entity type.

Thanks for your prompt response, @Janice B.

Rustler is right, after following his recommendation, let's change your account's entity type. Under the Company settings, you have an option there to change from Partnership to 1120S.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon and then select Account and Settings.
2. Choose Company settings.
3. Go to the Company type section.
4. Choose the Form 1120s under Tax Form drop-down list.
5. Hit Save.
