Question about QuickBooks Online Payroll export to Quicken

We currently use Intuit Online Payroll (IOP), and export our weekly payroll info into Quicken using the built in functionality in IOP. Today we received notification that IOP is being retired on July 12 and we will be transitioned to QuickBooks Online Payroll Core.

 

Does Quickbooks Online Payroll Core allow for export to Quicken? I've read through the support articles and it's not clear.

    Hi there, @Brothersbr. The instructions below will ensure you're able to convert your QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll data to Quicken.

     

    The closest way to do it is to export your data from the QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) version to Quicken. You can download a trial to use as an alternative. This is where we can export the data from QBO. Then, export your lists or transactions to Excel. Once done, import the file to Quicken.

     

    1. Download a QBDT trial version. Before you start, ensure that your computer meets the minimum requirements to install QuickBooks.
    2. Launch QuickBooks Desktop.
    3. Go to File and select Close Company. Leave QBDT open while you complete the rest of the steps.

     

    Then, you can proceed with converting your QBO data to QBDT. Refer to this article for the data lists that can be converted: How your data is converted.

     

    Once you're done, we can begin exporting your data from QBDT to Quicken using Excel. You can start with exporting your Chart of Accounts and Vendor lists. Refer to this article for the detailed steps: Convert from QuickBooks Desktop to Quicken.

     

    For your future reference, you may want to convert your Quicken data to QuickBooks Online. Refer to this article for the details on how to achieve this: How to convert Quicken data to QBO.

     

    Just in case, I'll add this article for future reference: See what you can get with QuickBooks Online Payroll Core.

     

    As another option, QBO also offers the support of thousands of various third-party applications. To see if there's an app that can help you export your data to Quicken, head to the Intuit App Center. Then, type a keyword in the search bar.

    Hello @LieraMarie_A 

     

    Thanks for you reply. I do have a clarifying question.

     

    Intuit Online Payroll allows you to export a Quicken QIF file that can be imported directly into Quicken. From your explanation below, it sounds like Quicken Online Payroll Core does not provide the option to export a Quicken QIF file, hence the need for the multi-step workaround you describe below. Am I understanding this correctly?

     

    Also, just to clarify, we use Quicken and not QuickBooks for accounting. We use Intuit Online Payroll (soon to be phased out and converted to QuickBooks Online Payroll Core) for payroll. We are not planning to switch from Quicken to QuickBooks for accounting, so we are trying to determine if switching from Intuit Online Payroll to QuickBooks Payroll Core will still allow us to export a Quicken QIF data file that can be imported into Quicken. From your response below, it sounds like no, but that's what we are trying to figure out.

     

    Thanks for your help and clarification.

    I've been communicating directly with Chris O’Rourke at Intuit's Office of the President about having QuickBooks Online Payroll export QIF files that can be brought into Quicken.   We had that capability with Intuit Online Payroll which is being retired.
