Move quickbooks online to quickbooks desktop for MACBOOK

I have tried quickbooks online. I would like to move back to quickbooks desktop for MAC. I need to know how to move my data from online to the desktop version for macbook users.  I have read the instructions to convert the data. However, it says it needs to be converted to quickbooks for windows first. I am very confused as to get this accomplished because I do not have a windows computer.

Hello there, @rmiga.

 

Thank you for using QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop for Mac as part of your business. I'm here to ensure you'll be able to move your data.

 

Yes, you're right. When moving your files, you'll need to export your files first from QBO to QBDT for Windows. Then, convert them to QBDT Mac.

 

Just a heads up:

 

  • We can only move company files from QBDT Pro, Premier, or Premier Accountant editions.
  • We'll have to ensure that your QBDT is updated to the latest release.
  • QBDT for Windows should have the same version or earlier than Mac. For instance, if you're exporting to QBDT for Mac 2022, we'll have to use QBDT for Windows 2022 or earlier versions.

 

Since you don't have QBDT for Window, you may go to this link: Download a trial of QuickBooks Desktop to get a trial version of QBDT we want to use. It contains the license and product numbers we can enter upon installing the sample file. 

 

Also, these links for the detailed step-by-step guide on how to migrate:

 

 

If you want to upload data into QBDT for Mac, you can use this reference for future use: Import data into QuickBooks for Mac

 

f you have any follow-up concerns about migration, please don't hesitate to return to this thread. We're always here to answer your queries. Stay safe, and I wish you continued success.

You can purchase a 3rd party service to convert your data from QBO to QB Desktop for Mac.

Which QB Desktop year version do you have?
