Hello, Cwilli200. 

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. I'll help you with exporting your payroll data to an IIF file and import it to QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

To send your payroll data to QBDT, you'll have to manually export your file from QBO. Then, import them to your QBDT company file. To download import kits, you can refer to this article: IIF Overview: import kit, sample files, and headers.

 

Before you import, I encourage you to back up your company file for future use. Then, know the IIF import limitations to smoothly execute the process. Whenever you're ready to import your IIF payroll data, here's how: 

 

  1. Sign in to your company file as an admin.
  2. Go to the File menu.
  3. Select Import.
  4. Choose From IIF Files, then export your IIF file.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the procedure. 

 

The Community also makes it easy for you to have handy sources that you can bookmark for future use. The site has tons of help articles and even video tutorials that will be able to guide you on your QuickBooks tasks. To get started, visit our QuickBooks Desktop Help page

 

I'd like to know how you get on after trying the steps as I want to ensure this is resolved for you. Just reply to this post and I'll get back to you. You have a good one and stay safe!
