Hi there, mlevandovsky.

 

It's nice to see you again in the QuickBooks Community forum. I'll provide steps to make sure you're able to link your two Quickbooks account with the same login credentials.

 

Once both accounts have a different email address or user ID, you can invite the other company file to use the same email. You'll have to open your one QuickBooks account and choose the email address you want to use for all your companies. For example, we call this email A. Then, the email you no longer wish to use is email B.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to one of your QuickBooks Online companies that you access with email B.
  2. Invite email A to the company. When you invite email A, you choose a user type. Then, select Company Admin if you want email A to be able to manage other users and company info.
  3. Click Next and tick All. Then, answer the following prompt.
  4. Enter your name and the email that you want to login moving forward.
  5. Hit Save.

 

Once done, you'll receive an email notification. Then, make sure to enter the same password or credentials. Once configured, you can now see a switch function (Switch company) under Profile in the Gear icon.

 

You can refer to this article to see additional information: Sign in to multiple QuickBooks Online companies with one user ID.

I am not able to add another user, looks like my account is basic and I don't want to upgrade to another tier for this.

Is there another way of linking the 2 accounts?

Hey there, @ML45

 

Thanks for following the thread. I'm happy to provide an additional way to link your accounts in QuickBooks Online. 

 

Aside from the steps provided by my colleague above, you can change your email and user ID in your second company, and the accounts will automatically link. I've included some steps to change your email below. 

 

  1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online.
  2. Click on your profile icon next to the Gear Icon.
  3. Hit Manage your Intuit Account. This opens the Intuit Account Manager.
  4. Tap the Sign-in & security menu.
  5. Click the User ID, Email Address, or Password section.
  6. Make your changes.
  7. When you're done, select Save.

That should do it. Once your user ID and passwords are the same for both accounts, you should be automatically linked. Feel free to check out more details in Change your email, user ID, or password for QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Online Accountant, and QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns about this process. Take care and have a fantastic weekend!
