Do I have to create a separate account for my other business or can I have more than one business connected to the same account?

One QBO account is for one company file. You can use the same email address to sign up for another account. If you don't need to use any online service, you can use an old QB Desktop with a non subscription license to manage multiple company files.

QuickBooks Self-Employed is designed to support one business per account, Xtramilenotary. I’ll share some helpful options for managing your additional business effectively.

Since QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) does not currently allow multiple businesses under a single account, you'll need to create a separate QBSE account with a different email address if you want to subscribe to the same plan for your second business. This ensures that each business’s financial data remains organized and distinct.

Alternatively, if you prefer managing both businesses under one user login, you could consider QuickBooks Online (QBO) plans. QBO allows you to create and manage multiple companies within the same account, each requiring its subscription but accessible through a single sign-in. You can review the available plans and pricing here: QuickBooks Online Plans.

Furthermore, I'll share these valuable resources that provide comprehensive guidance on connecting your bank to QuickBooks and categorizing your transactions effectively. These resources also offer detailed explanations of how to handle transactions properly inside the system:

• Connect bank and credit card accounts
• Categorize transactions in QBSE
