How can I switch from an online to self employed account?

Hello there, REJ22.

There's no direct way to switch from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Self-Employed. I can assist you in smoothly transitioning from QBO to QBSE by providing a detailed, step-by-step guide.

First, you may consider canceling your QBO account to prevent further billing. Then, subscribe to QuickBooks Self-Employed to begin using it. 

To cancel your QBO account:

1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online as an admin user.
2. Go to Settings ⚙ and select Subscriptions and billing.
3. In the QuickBooks section, select Cancel subscription or Cancel online. If you're canceling a trial, click Cancel trial.
4. Follow the on-screen steps.

To subscribe to QuickBooks Self-Employed, you can check this article for details: Plans and Pricing.

If you have existing transactions in QBO, I suggest exporting your data to Excel before proceeding. Refer to this article for detailed steps on exporting reports, lists, and other data from QuickBooks Online: Export reports, lists, and other data from QuickBooks Online.

Afterward, import your data to QBSE. Here's how:

1. Navigate to the Settings icon and select Imports.
2. Choose an account and click the Import Older Transactions link under the Action column.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
4. Click Import.
