Is anyone else having trouble connecting via desktop?

Thank you for being a part of the Community, @arkvalleyinfo.

Let me share some insights about connecting to the desktop.

QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Self-Employed are using different platforms and are designed to work independently. Therefore, they can't be synced together.

Our Product Engineers are open to feedback and suggestions. This way, we can improve our products and services and your experience. 

Here's how you can send feedback:

1. Go to Help.
2. Select Send Feedback Online.

In addition, you can also Connect bank and credit card accounts to QuickBooks Self-Employed.

Please let me know if I can be of any additional help. Have a great rest of the day!
