Determining parent of sub-customer through IDS

Question

I'm syncing data with QBOE using the IDS API V2. I can't figure out how to determine if a customer is a sub-customer. if the Bill With Parent happens to be true, then it's a safe bet, but that's not a guarantee. It also doesn't include the parent id which is needed.

The output of a nested customer is looking like this. Do I need to query the server differently?

<Customer xmlns="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/v2" xmlns:qbp="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/qbopayroll/v1" xmlns:qbo="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/qbo">

To Query for all top level customers without jobs query for customers with IncludeJobs set to false. You will need to query jobs seperately.
