I've never been able to upload CSV files into QBSE Online. I've tried every tip I can find online, but to no avail.

Yes, you can upload older transactions from a CSV file. Did you encounter an error message while trying to do so? Sharing the exact error will help us pinpoint the issue.

 

Note that QuickBooks Self-Employed requires a specific, simple layout. If your CSV includes extra data, columns, or unrecognized headers, the system will reject it.

 

To ensure a smooth import, format your CSV file with these required columns:

 

  • Date
  • Description
  • Amount (or separate columns for Debit and Credit)

 

For more guidance, see this article: Add older transactions to QuickBooks Self-Employed.
