Can I change my quickbooks account to a personal account? I no longer need a self employed business account but I want to keep using quickbooks if possible.

If you want to continue using QB but need to cut costs, you can use old QB Desktop with a non-subscription license.

No. There’s no option to convert QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) into a personal (non-business) account within the same subscription, since QBSE is built specifically for tracking business income and expenses.

 

If you prefer the interface, you can keep your subscription active and tag any ongoing transactions as Personal to keep them separate from your past business records. On the other hand, if you still have occasional side income or freelance work, you can explore other QuickBooks products that better fit your needs.
