I started using quickbooks in march, my previous program was sage, I need to transfer data including payroll so I can finish my year end and send out t4s through 1 progra

Hey travis-m,

It's awesome to have you aboard! Consolidating your books into a single program is much more manageable, and will make things easier going forward. I'll be happy to help you transfer some basic data over. Due to the sensitivity of payroll data, the process of bringing this information in will depend a lot on your specific business and your payroll subscription. It's great that you're already getting a head start for T4s.

The process of transferring data into QuickBooks Online overwrites all existing data. Since you've been using QuickBooks since March, I would not recommend doing a full transfer. This article provides an overview of the data that can safely and easily be imported into QuickBooks Online: Common questions about importing data to QuickBooks Online

As mentioned by AndréB , I don't recommend to migrate your Sage data into current QBO account. I would recommend these following steps:

1. Call and ask Data Service to convert your Sage data into a new QBO account

2. Finish your year end in due course.

3. Explore this backup tool to copy your data between QBO accounts.

4. Close one of your QBO accounts.

Just my 2 cents.
