Hello there, @art-b.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), moving one company data from one QBO to another is unavailable. Thus, to do the merging process, here's what you'll need to do:

  1. Export lists reports to Excel from your current QBO account.
  2. Import it to your other QBO account.
  3. For the transactions, you can either:
       • Connect your bank account and import/manage the transactions.
       • Manually record the transactions from the account.
  4. Cancel the QBO subscription you're not going to use.

For more information about this process, see this article: Move your lists to QuickBooks Online.

 

If you need further assistance about merging your accounts, feel free to post again here. I'll be always around to lend you a hand. Have a great day.

These are not 2 different companies. I want the subscriptions that I have. When I log in now it asks to select the company, but they are the same name. It's just that one has everything except the payroll and the other one is only the payroll. It's the same company. This just happened after Intuit online payroll said it was migrating to Quickbooks online payroll.

    I appreciate you for getting back to this thread, @art-b. Let me chime in and clarify things for you.

     

    Intuit Online Payroll employee data, past payroll, and tax information will be ready in the QuickBooks Online Payroll product as soon as you or your client's transition. 

     

    In your case, you have two companies that you want to merge. As mentioned by my colleagues above, this process is unavailable. If you wish to transfer your payroll data to a QuickBooks Online account, you can follow the steps in this article: Setup export of IOP data to QuickBooks Online (QBO).

     

    If you're unsure about the migration process and what to choose, you can reach out to our Support Team. They have the necessary tools to have a remote session with you and can closely look into your payroll setup. 

     

    In addition, you can also read this reference to learn about what to expect when you move from Intuit Online Payroll to QuickBooks Online Payroll Core.

     

    Just let me know if you have other questions about your payroll company files in QuickBooks. I'll be around to assist you again. Have a good one!
