I'll be there to help you at every stage, gideonssourceofkansas.

 

This step-by-step guide will walk you through the whole process of how to export and import your QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP) data to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

 

To begin, let's set up your preferences in your QBOP account. Please follow the instructions below. 

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon, then choose Payroll Settings.
  2. Click the Pencil icon next to Export
  3. Choose QuickBooks Online and tap Continue
  4. Select the company you want to export into and pick the accounts for each wage expense or liability.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the setup. 

 

Afterward, you can export your payroll data. Allow me to show you how.

  1. Go back to the Payroll settings page. 
  2. Choose Export transactions in the Export section. 
  3. Click Export

Having done so, you can now import the data into QBDT. But before that, ensure that your account is in the most recent version. It allows us to get the best experience.

 

Once confirmed, follow the steps below to achieve the import process.

 

  1. Make a backup to your QBDT just in case. 
  2. Go to the File menu, then choose Utilities
  3. Select Import, then pick the appropriate type files. 
  4. Click OK and follow the on-screen instructions.
