Let me help you set up your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account so you can utilize it already.
Whenever you process a credit card payment, pay your employees using QuickBooks Payroll, or take out a loan from the bank, make sure your accounting reflects each step of each process as closely as possible.
That means matching names, dates, payment methods, and totals against recorded transactions on your actual bank statements.
Here's how:
From the Gear icon, select Account and Settings, Then, Company.
Add your company's information: - Company Name - Business Address (you can also add a PO Box as the “Customer Facing” address, as long as your legal business address is also in QuickBooks) - Email Address - Website - Phone Number
Click the Pencil Icon in the corner to edit info and click Save once completed.
Next, ensure the designated company type and the tax form you plan to file at the end of the fiscal year are accurate.
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Social Security Number is required. If you need help determining which of these you need for your business, reach out to your accountant or the IRS.
