I can assist you in the process of inputting transactions into QuickBooks Self-Employed by manually adding them from a CSV file, @Tcollins.

 

Many banks allow you to download transactions from their website in CSV format, and you can upload CSV in two different formats. These are the 3-column and 4-column format.

 

Here are the steps to upload CSV files and import your transactions into QuickBooks.

 

  1. Navigate to the Profile ⚙ icon and select Imports.
  2. Select Import transactions.
  3. Follow the onscreen steps to upload the CSV file.
  4. Select Import.

 

Additionally, if you conduct your self-employed work from a home office rather than a separate location, you might be eligible to claim deductions for certain expenses. See this page for more information: Track home office deductions in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

You can still add your comment in this thread. We are willing to provide more information importing through CSV files. Keep safe.

It might be a formatting issue, QuickBooks can be picky about column names and data types. If it keeps failing, you could try a tool like Skyvia to load the CSV with mapping control and automation. [Removed]

Yeah, i think Skyvia is a good option, actually. I had a few cases when I used it, and maybe will try again with CSV files. Is this page right, or is there some other information to explore?
