Starting New Account

I need to start a new QB file, as my old account is 13 years old, and aside from that, I changed from a sole proprietership to an LLC.

I don't keep customers in QB, and I only have about 6 vendors. What is the best way, under my circumstances, to start the new file and carry over the necessary data such as vendor balances.

I would like to carry over categories, accounts and names if possible, but I suppose I can just deal with entering them again as needed. What would be the best way to handle starting the new account under my circumstances?

Thanks, James

Talk to your accountant, setting up a new file may not really be required. As sole proprierership you report your income on schedule C, as an LLC with only one owner nothing really changes, you report the income on schedule C.

Hi Allan,

Thanks for the response. It has been suggested by my CPA that I do start a new file, plus this one gets kind of bogged down on start up. I guess the main issue is dealing with re-doing the categories. There is software that is supposed to handl this here:
