Downloading a .QBO file into Quickbooks

Has anyone figured a way to be able to download .qbo files into Desktop 2019, current version, without doing a subscription service?

 

The program does everything I need it to do except that anymore. I just don't want to go back to manually loading in the transactions.

One way is to convert the QBO file to an IIF file, which can be imported using any version of QuickBooks Desktop. Use our OFX/QFX/QBO to IIF Converter to convert the file. You can try it free for 30 days in trial mode to see if it works well for your needs.

Other than *.qbo, what file format does your bank provide?

Are you using QBD 2019 with a single user?

QIF

QBO

I understand that you want to download the .qbo file in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), salaudio.  I'm here to provide additional information on how to download bank transactions into QuickBooks.

 

The option to download.qbo files using QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2019 have been discontinued. You'll need to manually enter the transactions or upgrade to the latest version of QBDT to download the file. 

 

Meanwhile, You'll have to use a third-party application to convert its file type. That said, you can visit our Desktop App Market to find the best tool that can convert your downloaded files. Once you're in, just enter a keyword in the search bar or go to the Categories section to filter the results.

 

Additionally, I'll be sharing the following articles to help manage your bank transactions in QuickBooks:

I'm on a Mac, does your software work with that?

 

And why would Quickbooks only block .QBO files and not IIF?

No, it's for Windows only.

They see online banking/bank feeds as a connected feature, and include QBO files - which use the online banking/bank feeds feature as part of that.  All connected features are disabled when they pull support for a QB version.
