Can I start a new company file to replace the current file? It has to many issues to correct. Will I have to pay for a second file?

Hi there @joe142,

 

I definitely understand wanting to start a new company file, sometimes it’s easiest to start with a clean slate. Each QuickBooks Online account holds one company file. You have a couple of options:

 

  1. You can delete the current data and start over. Check out this article: Delete your data and start over in QBO.
  2. You can create a new QBO company, and close your current one. A few things to note for this option:
  • When you cancel your QuickBooks Online subscription you have read-only access to your QuickBooks Online data for one year after you cancel your subscription
  • If you’re subscribed to QuickBooks Online, you can export data to Excel or to a desktop version of QuickBooks up to a year after you cancel.
  • If you’re using a trial version, you must export within 90 days after you cancel.

If you decide to go with a new account, and your current Chart of accounts isn’t part of the issue, you can move it to the new account. Here is a link to walk you through the steps: Move your Chart of accounts to QBO

 

Let me know if you have any more questions about transitioning company information, or anything else. I’m here to help!

If your current account is > 60 days, you should open a new account
