Hi John189,
We appreciate your loyalty and wanting to stick with QuickBooks! It's important to use the right version of the program for your business and I know how useful a conversion feature is when transitioning from one program to another. At this time, our data migration tool works from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online. However, I can show you how to bring some of your Online data to the Desktop platform to prevent you from completely starting from scratch.
This is possible through an export-import process. You’ll be able to export and download reports, lists, and some other information from QuickBooks Online outlined in the following article: Export reports, lists, and more. These will export as CSV files that you can open and review in Excel. The data exported from QuickBooks Online can then be imported into QuickBooks Desktop. You can review the Import and export data in QuickBooks Desktop article to see what the options are. I was also able to find another article that combines both processes for you: Move lists and balances from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop
Feel free to also explore the use of third party apps to assist you with migrating more data if needed. You can find the list of compatible apps to QuickBooks Online here: QuickBooks Apps
For additional help with getting set up in QuickBooks Desktop after completing your transition, don't hesitate to reach out to the support team at 1-877-772-9158. Depending on which edition of Desktop you go with, the hours and support fees are different, so I encourage you to review the Intuit QuickBooks Desktop software support policies
All the best to you! You're always welcome to stop by if you have other questions.
