I need to change business type. This account was linked to my candle business expenses but when I set up business type I put my car rental business by mistake.

Thank you for contacting us about changing business type in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE), samantha.

 

Being able to set up and change a business type in QBSE isn't an option. QBSE is specifically designed for self-employed and freelancers that need to pay estimated taxes and file Schedule C.

 

If you need to change the business name, you can modify it through your Intuit account. Let me show you how to do it.

 

  1. Go to https://accounts.intuit.com/index.html.

  2. Enter your QBSE login credentials.

  3. Select the Personal info tab and change your business details in the Name section.
     

If you want to edit the company name on your invoice, you can follow these steps. 

 

  1. From the left panel, choose Invoices.
  2. Open the invoice and select the Edit button. 
  3. From there, click the Edit work info and change the name. 
  4. Once done choose Save.
     

For more details on how QBSE works, you can check out this article: Learn the basics of QuickBooks Self-Employed. It provides an overview of everything you can do, how to get set up, and how QuickBooks tracks everything throughout the year.

 

 

If you have QuickBooks Online, here's how to update the business type.

 

  1. Click Settings ⚙️, then select Account and Settings.
  2. Go to the Company tab, then Company type.

  3. Select Edit ✏️.
  4. Choose a Tax form and enter the Industry name.
  5. Click Save, then Done to close your settings.
     

Please know that each version of QuickBooks is designed to address specific business needs. You can browse this link to learn more about this: See which version of QuickBooks is right for you.

 

Let me know if there's anything else you need about changing the business type. I'm always right here to help you.
