two businesses reporting causing quickbooks error

Hi there, @Ray Chambers.

Let's review and update the Income Tax Form Used in your new Quickbooks company file before importing it. This way, you won't be able to receive the error upon importing your QuickBooks.

Here's how:

1. In your new QuickBooks company file, go to the Company menu.
2. Select My Company.
3. Review the Income Tax Form you use. Make sure that you're using the appropriate tax form for your company.
4. Click the pencil icon if you need to update your Income Tax Form.
5. Go to the Report Information menu, then choose the correct Income Tax Form Used from the drop-down.
6. Click OK.

Once done, you can now try to import the data to your new company file.

If the issue persists, I suggest contacting our Technical Support Team. They can further check on this error and get some help from there. They can also provide some troubleshooting steps that can fix the error.

To reach them:

1. Go to the Help menu.
2. Select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
3. In the Have a Question window, click Contact us at the bottom portion of the screen.
4. Click Search for something else.
5. Type in a keyword about your concern.
6. Hit Search.
7. Click on Start a Message.
