Follow the specific steps below for the message you see.

This can happen if one of your transactions has 12 or more digits. QuickBooks can't upload transactions this large.

To fix this, remove the transaction from the file. Then, enter the transaction as an individual sales receipt or expense in QuickBooks. Then upload the file again.

If you need, you can also reformat your CSV before you upload them.

This can happen if you're uploading a file for a different type of account than the one you selected. For instance, if you chose checking but you're uploading transactions from your savings account.

You can upload transactions into parent or subaccounts. However, if the related parent or subaccount is already set up for online banking, you may see an error. You can connect either the parent or subaccount, but not both.

  1. Temporarily disconnect the connected parent or subaccount from online banking.
  2. Upload the file.
  3. Reconnect the original parent or subaccount to online banking.

Your upload timed out. It's just a hiccup - wait a few minutes and upload it again.

  • connect the subaccount directly to the bank feed
  • Or, manually enter the transaction in QuickBooks Online.

Contact Support if you have a unique subaccount setup so we can help you identify the best way to move forward.

There's a temporary server problem with QuickBooks. Wait a few minutes and then you can try again.
