I just downloaded Quickbooks Desktop Premier 2020. How do I transfer all my information and transactions to that from Quickbooks Essentials Online?

Hello, goodguysmagic.

I'd be glad to help you transfer your QuickBooks Online information to the desktop 2020 version.

You can use the following URL to initiate the download in Internet Explorer to export the data: http://qbo.intuit.com/app/exportqbodatatoqbdt. After that, prepare to export your QuickBooks Online data by following the steps below:

1. Click the Get Started button in the Export Overview window. 
2. Select Install under ActiveX Control Now.
3. When it's finished, click Continue.
4. Choose the data you want to export, then click Continue.
5. Review the limitations and choose Continue.
6. Enter your contact info and then click Continue.

After that, refer to this article to complete the process. From there, go directly to Step 4: Finish exporting your data: Export your QuickBooks Online data to QuickBooks Desktop.
