how to migrate or download information from online to desktop

Hi there, @srlundy. Let me help you how to migrate your information or data from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

 

The first thing we'll do is to download and install QBDT on your computer. If you've already completed this, you can follow the steps below:

 

  1. Open your QBDT, then go to the File menu.
  2. Select Close Company. Ensure your QBDT is open while you complete the remaining steps.

 

Now, let's sign in to QBO and download the migration tool. 

 

  1. Sign in to your QBO account you want to convert with a supported browser.
  2. Replace anything that is after the /app/ with exportqbodatatoqbdt
  3. Select Get Started on the Export Overview page.
  4. Choose the Download tool to download the QBDT migration tool.
  5. Once downloaded, launch the tool to install it and select Next.
  6. Accept the terms in the license agreement and select Next
  7. Choose Complete as the type of setup, then Next.
  8. Hit Install and Finish.

 

Proceed to Steps 3 and in this article to complete the process: Move your QBO to QBDT

 

Furthermore, you can check out these resources for in-depth information about the limitations when you convert your file and help you get started with QBDT:
