Downloaded the .QBO file, but it will not link to the correct account

I downloaded the .QBO file for the Discover Card account following these directions:Screen Shot 2020-08-29 at 2.55.38 PM.png

When I try to "open the Downloaded Transactions Window," QuickBooks link it to a different account. What am I doing wrong.

Downloaded the .QBO file, but it will not link to the correct account

Good day, foleyterri.

 

Let me show you an important step when importing a QBO file to QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

 

We need to select a QuickBooks Account when we import the file. This is to make sure that transactions will be linked to the right account.

 

You can follow these steps:

  1. Go to the File menu. Hover over Import and select From Web Connect
  2. On the pop-up, locate the downloaded QBO file and click Open.
  3. From the Account Association window, select the account in QuickBooks under Store in the QuickBooks Account drop-down.
  4. Click Continue.

Once done, you'll see a message saying that it was successful. 

 

I've added this link if you need more information on how to set up and use Online Banking for QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

 

Please post again if you need anything else. Stay safe and healthy!
