How do I reconcile tax history when no payment was needed? (switched from Desktop with no employees to online) Can't enter next qtr information until cleared up.

Hello, jimmymack.

When you convert your data from QuickBooks Desktop to the Online version, some information may not be transferred. This is due to the import limitations and feature differences between the two.

I'd also suggest reading this article to know more about what data is exported from the Desktop version: Learn how features and data move from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

Also, If you want to enter the next quarter information, you'll need to reenter your data as enter prior payroll. When adding your employee's prior payroll history, make sure to complete the employee's profile. Also, please take note that the information being entered is within the current calendar year and there are no paychecks created for the employee(s) yet.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Workers menu at the left pane to get to the Employees page.
2. Select the employee to open the information, then Enter prior pay details.
3. Enter the necessary information.
