I am currently using quickbooks self employed however it's for the business I just started. When I go to pay the quarterly taxes and file taxes at the end of the year, can I just replace my name with  the company name and use the company EIN instead of my ssn?

Welcome to the Community space, DeVoe-ted0424.

 

I'll share some information about changing your company information in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE).

 

The company name displayed on your account depends on the details you've entered in the Personal Info tab. You can change your company name in the Name section. I'll show you how to do it.

 

  1. Sign in to QBSE.
  2. Go to Settings ⚙, then select Intuit Account to open the Intuit Account Manager.
  3. Choose the Personal info tab. Then enter your company name in the Name field.
  4. Click Save.

 

On the other hand, the option to use your EIN isn't possible in QBSE since this is designed for Independent Contractors. You may consider switching to QuickBooks Online (QBO) and choosing the version that suits your needs. Please visit this article for more insights: Switch from QuickBooks Self-Employed to QuickBooks Online.

 

Once you've switched to QBO, you can now change your business info. I've got this resource for a complete guide: Change your business name, contact info, or EIN in QuickBooks Online.

 

Don't hesitate to reply to this post if you have further questions about managing your company information. We're always here to back you up.

Actually, when I follow these steps I don't see a Personal Info icon/tab to click on..  Is that because I have the basic subscription?

I appreciate the steps you've taken, @robertc23. I'm here to provide some new information regarding your concern. 

 

The basic subscription will allow you to access your personal information in QuickBooks Self-Employed. To do this, click the Profile section instead of the Personal info tab to view your data successfully. To do so, here's how:

 

  1. Sign in with your QBSE account. 
  2. Hit the Gear icon, then under Profile, select Intuit account to open the Intuit Account Manager.
  3. Click the Profile tab on your left navigation panel to access your personal information. This is also where you can edit your info.
  4. Go back to the QBSE website, sign out and log in to your account to see the changes you've made.

 

If you want an update on your QBSE subscription, you can visit this article for reference: Update your billing and subscription info in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

You can always post in this forum anytime if you have other questions regarding QBSE subscription and viewing tabs. We're always glad to assist you.

I tried this and it only allows me to enter my First and Last name.  No company name.

Thank you.  I tried this and it only shows a First Name Last Name field to update. No company name option.

The company name in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) varies on the personal information you've entered into the system. For now, you can temporarily input your business details through the Profile tab, as suggested by my colleague above.

  1. Tap on Profile from the Gear icon.
  2. Select the Intuit account to open the Intuit Account Manager.
  3. Tap on the Profile tab to input the details.
  4. Return to the QBSE website, sign out, and log back into your account to view the changes.

I am sorry, but I do not have that option to enter Company Name.  I am a paying QBSE user and have been for 10 months.
