how do I get my quickbooks to stop pulling my husbands business account in with mine

Thanks for reaching out with your concern about how to stop QuickBooks Online (QBO) from pulling your husband’s business account into yours, Katy. I understand the importance of keeping your business finances separate, and I'd be glad to guide you through the process.

Firstly, you’ll need to disconnect that bank account from online banking. This action will prevent new transactions from downloading into your QuickBooks while keeping your existing data intact.

Here's how:

1. Sign in to your QBO account and go to Transactions > Bank transactions.
2. Select the tile for your husband’s business bank account.
   
3. Click the Pencil icon (Edit) in the upper-right corner of the account tile.
   
4. Choose Edit account info.
5. Check the box labeled Disconnect this account on save.
    
6. Click Save.

For additional guidance and detailed information about the process, refer to this article: Disconnect accounts connected to online banking in QuickBooks Online.

Once you've completed these steps, QuickBooks will no longer import new transactions from your husband’s business account. However, please note that any transactions that have been downloaded will still be visible in your account until you manually exclude or delete them.
