Question

Has anyone been able to get quickbooks payroll online to export to quickbooks desktop? I am not able to get this to happen. I don't want to convert to QB online.

I would like to find answers. When I converted to QB Payroll online I lost all of my historical company payroll data. I do not want to lose all of my company data if I convert to QB online. But they have eliminated the quick export feature. When I converted to QB payroll online, it was for 24/7 help. Now its M-F during business hours

Thanks for sharing your concern in the QuickBooks Community, @2400wglenbrookll.

 

The option to export QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll data to QuickBooks Desktop is unavailable at the moment. For now, these are the files you can export from QBO:

 

  • Customers
  • Employees
  • Vendors
  • General ledger report
  • Journal
  • Trial balance
  • Profit and loss report

 

I can see how this option would be helpful for you and your business. Therefore, let me take note of this as a suggestion to improve your QuickBooks experience.

 

You can also send this suggestion to our product developers so they can review it.  The more request they will get, the likely it'll be implemented in the future. Simply follow these steps:
