How do I import QB Online payroll data from another account into QB Online Plus?

Hello there, intelm.

 

Importing a payroll date in QuickBooks Online is unavailable. What we can do is enter them through the prior payroll process or enter them using a journal entry.

 

To enter prior payroll process, please follow these steps:

 

  1.  Select the Payroll menu. 
  2. Within the Overview tab, you will see tasks you need to complete on your TO DO. When you're done adding your business info, it's time to tell us about your team. Select Let's go to start adding your employees.
  3. Enter your employees' info. After you complete the questions, select Done.
  4.  Select Add an employee to add the rest of your employees.
  5. Complete the onscreen steps. If your employee doesn't have any wages to enter this year, select Done and add additional employees as needed.

 

For the complete details, you can check this article: Set up a prior payroll for QuickBooks Online Payroll. Make sure to proceed following the instructions outlined in the Step 3: Enter how much you paid the employee this year section.

 

Another thing you might consider is browsing  through our supported importer apps. Look for an app that can help import your payroll data: QuickBooks Apps Store.

 

Please see the following articles for more information and references:
