Question

With the new intuit payroll change I am unable to export my recent payroll to quickbooks online. Have they merged? Do I still need to export?

Thanks for utilizing the Community space, dan160.

 

I can share information about the new QuickBooks Online Payroll system.

 

There's no need for you to export your data to the new payroll system. Once you confirm switching to the new plan, automatically the data will be transfer to the new one. You can go to qbo.intuit.com  and use the same user ID and password. However, if you're using the Standalone Payroll and you don't have a QuickBooks Online account yet. You can export your payroll transactions into QBO or QuickBooks Desktop. Let's set up your export preference first.

 

Here's how to set up your Export Preferences:

 

  1. Select the Gear icon in the top right corner.
  2. Click Payroll settings.
  3. Hit the Pencil icon next to Export.
  4. Choose either QuickBooks Desktop for Windows: downloadable IIF (Intuit Interchange Format) file or QuickBooks Online and select Continue
  5. If selecting QuickBooks Online, you may be prompted to log in to select the company. You will then be asked to select the company you want to export into.
  6. If selecting QuickBooks Desktop for Windows, you will be asked to type in the name of each account you are exporting your liabilities and expenses to. We recommend that you have a copy of your QuickBooks chart of accounts handy for this.

 

These are the steps to export your payroll transactions:

 

  1. Select the Gear icon in the top right corner.
  2. Click Payroll settings.
  3. Hit Export transactions in the Export section.
  4. A screen will appear letting you know how many transactions and of which type are being exported.
  5. Select Export.
