Convert qb 2016 file for online use

Hi there, nicole-nicolehar.

Let's make sure to convert your QuickBooks Desktop 2016 file to QuickBooks Online.

Since QuickBooks 2016 file is an old file, we can use the QuickBooks Desktop file restoration tool to move your data into the online system.

First, let's open the online tool. Choose the QuickBooks version you're using.

• QuickBooks Pro/Premier.
• QuickBooks Enterprise.

After we open the link above, we'll have to click the Get Started button and sign in with your Intuit Account.

Then, let's upload your company file by following the steps below.

1. Click the file icon on the top bar and then Temporary Files.
2. Select Upload Files. Then, browse the company file (.QBW) you want to move.
3. Close the pop-up once your company file is uploaded.
4. Select Show uploaded file to see your uploaded company file.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to guide you through the move to QuickBooks Online.

On the other hand, if you don't have access to your company file, we can install and use our trial version of QuickBooks 2021. Then, we can proceed with the details in Step 2: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to the QuickBooks Online section. Visit this article for further guidance: Learn how to import your QuickBooks Desktop company file to QuickBooks Online.

I'd also like to provide information about QuickBooks Self-Employed. Since this product is different from other types of QuickBooks products, we're unable to move your file to QBSE. We can sign up for a new one instead.
 

We can visit these articles to gather more tips and information about the features and data we can move and learn how you can manage your QBO:

• Learn how features and data move from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.
• QBO Help Articles.
