    You can have separate data files.  Go up to File-New.  Unless you report it in your personal tax return.  Then it should be in the same data file.

    Most, if not all, of the SuperUsers have multiple data files.  Our "production" file and several for testing. Additionally, I have 2 more data files for non-profits where I'm the Treasurer.
    The data is stored in the file ending with .QDF ... not in the program itself, just as your Excel spreadsheets are separate from the program.
