Let me give you some insights about importing files in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll, @Vivianalv.

 

At this time, IIF files aren't able to import into QBO. If you want to import your files to QBO, you can do so via a CSV file. You can look online for an IIF to CSV converter. Also, you may consider opening the IIF file on a blank Excel workbook and save it as a CSV file. 

 

Meanwhile, if you are trying to import payroll transactions, this option is unavailable. As a workaround, you can enter it manually. Please refer to this article for more details: Manually enter payroll paychecks.


In case you need tips and related articles in the future, visit our QuickBooks Community help website for reference: Self-help.

Please let me know if you need further assistance. I'm always around to help.

As another option you may prepare the historical payroll data in XLS and import them as JE.

Check your import data for double quotation marks -> " or any other kind of special characters, they can mess things up on import.
