    Hi,

     

    To change the legal name/company name in QuickBooks Online, navigate to the company cog in the top right hand side of the screen and select 'Account and Settings' under 'Your Company'. This will bring up a new window. Click on the 'Company name' section where this will allow you to edit and change the details. Be sure to click 'Save' and then 'Done' to make sure all changes are reflected in the system going forward.

     

    I hope this helps. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.

     

    Kind Regards,

     

    Emily

    Hi,

    Welcome to the community.

    You are using Desktop or Online? By legal name you mean Company Name? It would be helpfull if you could give us some more details.

      I'm having a similiar problem, it won't let me delete my company name so it isn't on the 1099. It lists the legal name and company name.... and my phone number which I don't want listed.
