why can't quickbooks find the missing transactions? why does she have to manually import?

Hello there, taram.

QuickBooks may not import some of your transactions like occasional connectivity problems between your bank and QuickBooks, or because your bank places limits on how much past transaction data can be accessed.

To prevent duplicate transactions in your records, you have to manually import these transactions into QuickBooks. Updating your bank connection manually can lead to redundancy of entries, so importing them directly helps maintain accuracy in your financial records.

Please follow the steps below to complete this process:

1. Navigate to the Profile ⚙ icon.
2. Choose Import transactions.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the CSV file.
4. Select Import.

Additionally, to import older transactions, you can check this article as your guidelines: Add older transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

Moreover, after manually importing transactions into QuickBooks Self-Employed, you can proceed to categorize each transaction. 

If you have any further questions or need more assistance with the import and categorization process, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are here to ensure your financial management is as seamless and accurate as possible.

Try opening your QBO account on any private/incognito browser. If the same errror persists, use csv2qbo converter tool as a workaround.
