Same EIN for 2 QBO accounts

QuickBooks Online (QBO) is designed to manage one company's information per subscription, with one EIN per account, KMCkathy. Let me provide some insights on this topic.

As a workaround, if the companies share the same EIN, you can use a single QBO account and utilize the Class Tracking feature to separate the two companies for reporting purposes. Please note that this is only available to QBO Plus and Advance subscriptions.

Here are the steps to turn on this feature:

1. Go to Settings, then Account and settings.
2. Select Advanced, then click the Categories section to edit.
3. Turn on the Track classes switch.
4. Tick the Warn me when a transaction isn't assigned a class box.
5. Choose an option in the Assign classes dropdown.
6. Hit Save, then Done.
   
   
    

Once done, you can proceed to set up your class list.

Furthermore, you can find this article helpful when you run reports by class.
