How do i export to quickbooks for mac desktop

Hello, Johnson82. 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. If you have not yet set up payroll accounts in QuickBooks Mac, Intuit will set them up for you the first time you export data into QuickBooks Mac. Just enter the account names you prefer at the Export Preferences page. 

You will use the Export Preferences page to enter your QuickBooks Mac accounts. Use the exact same names of the QuickBooks Mac accounts you will use for the payroll data. 

1. Click Setup.
2. Under the Export heading, click Preferences.
3. Select QuickBooks for Mac from the software drop down list.
4. In the Checking Account box, enter the name of the bank account or select from the drop-down list.

5. Click Customize to enter the account names exactly as they appear in QuickBooks Mac or select from the drop-down list.

   • When entering accounts, read the help topics next to each field to choose the right account type. In general, enter or select an expense account for the Wage and Tax Categories. For the Liability accounts, enter or select the corresponding QuickBooks Mac Liability account.
   • If using a cash advance or employee loan deduction, enter or select an asset account to receive the payroll data
   • If you use different accounts for different groups of employees, select that option in the wage/tax category section to enter or select different QuickBooks Mac accounts for each employee.
   • If you use different accounts for different types of wages/taxes, select that option in the wage/tax category section to enter or select different QuickBooks  Mac accounts for each pay type and tax type
6. Specify whether you use QuickBooks Mac classes.
7. If classes are selected, you will enter them on the next page after clicking OK at the bottom of this page.
8. Click OK.
