Can I change from quickbooks (simple start) to quickbooks self employed?

Thank you for posting here on the Community page, heartyorksdg1-gm.

Currently, switching from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) is unavailable. This is because both subscriptions have different programs and are designed for different types of businesses. 

You'll need to cancel your existing QuickBooks Online subscription and sign up for a new Self-Employed account. I suggest exporting your QuickBooks Online data into Excel before canceling your account.

Here's how to export your report or list: 

1. Click the Gear icon.
2. Select Export Data.
3. On the Reports tab, set the desired date range.
4. Add or remove items from the Reports and Lists tabs by toggling the slider.
5. Click Export to Excel

You can go through these write-ups to know more about the difference between the two platforms as well as their features:

• Switch from QuickBooks Self-Employed to QuickBooks Online.
• QuickBooks Comparison Chart.

For future reference about QuickBooks Self Employed, here's an article for more information: QuickBooks Self-Employed Overview.
