Can I set up 2 businesses under the same ABN? Is this possible with the QuickBooks Online Essentials plan? Thanks for your time.

Hi there, @usersolutions.

I'm here to share with you some information about setting up your businesses in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Setting up two business under the same ABN may affect your forms and taxes since you need to file them separately. To avoid any issue, you need to use one QBO subscription per company or business. Thus, you can purchase a new subscription for the second file.

You can open this link and choose the plan you want to subscribe: Build the right plan for your business.

On the other hand, here are some of our helpful articles which you can read more about creating a new company file and switching from one account to another:
