How do I convert QuickBooks online to desktop?

Hi there, @linda51allen.

 

 I'd be glad to walk you through the process of moving your QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop. First, you'll have to prepare the file for exporting.

 

  1. Log in to the QuickBooks Online account you want to convert. Use your Intuit Account credentials.
  2. Highlight the URL and replace anything after /app/ with exportqbodatatoqbdt, then click Enter.
  3. Click the Get Started button.
  4. Select the Download Tool, then tap Continue.
  5. Install the migration tool and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the process. 
  6. Choose the data you want to convert and click the Continue button.
  7. Pick the Continue to Download button.

 

Once completed, you can now proceed to step 3 of the exporting process. You can refer to this article for more detailed instructions: Export and convert your QuickBooks Online data to QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Also, to help you manage your exported data, you can read through this article: Limitations when you convert from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop.

 

For additional reference on how you can navigate the desktop version, I also suggest visiting the following article: Get QuickBooks Desktop user guides.
