Is there a way to import QB ONLINE data to Turbo Tax BUSINESS DESKTOP?

You need to install the trial version of QB Desktop (i.e 2022-2024) to convert data from QB Online to QB Desktop file. Then you can import your data to TurboTax.

Is there a way to import QB ONLINE data to Turbo Tax BUSINESS DESKTOP?

Welcome to the Community, Dave.

 

I’m here to give insights on importing your QuickBooks Online data to your Turbo Tax Business Desktop.

 

There’s currently no direct way to perform this process. However, we can use a QuickBooks Desktop account to import your QuickBooks Online data to QuickBooks Desktop, and then transfer them to your Turbo Tax Business Desktop account. 

 

If you don't have a QuickBooks Desktop account. You can download a free trial version of QuickBooks Desktop to access the latest version and edition.

 

After downloading the product, you need to export the data to QBDT. Then, you can transfer your QuickBooks Desktop information to TurboTax.

 

When you’re done, you can check this link for step-by-step guidelines on importing your QuickBooks Desktop data into Turbotax Business: How do I import Quickbooks data into TurboTax Business?

Why has there still not a direct Quickbooks Online to Turbotax export yet?
This process is clunky and unreliable at best, every year since I've switched to Quickbooks Online.

I love quickbooks online year round, except for tax season.

Hello there, @heathsmiller.

 

I understand how important it is to connect QuickBooks Online to TurboTax export directly. However, the feature to export directly from QBO to TurboTax is currently unavailable. We assure you that we're always improving our services for everyone.

 

To help improve your experience, I recommend sending feedback directly to our product engineers.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Select the Gear icon and choose Feedback.
  2. Fill in your suggestions in the Feedback field.
  3. Select Next to send it.

 

You can also learn to record tax payments made outside of QuickBooks Online Payroll.

 

Feel free to leave a comment below if you have additional concerns about your taxes in QuickBooks Online. I'm always here to assist you.

How can you push your Quickbooks Desktop clients to move to Quickbooks online without providing such a key feature to stay compatible with Turbotax? Every time I use one of your products, I have a strong feeling of a total lack of customer centricity. This is a shame.

i can't seem to get the export to work for 2023/24.  I get an 'this is not a valid xml file' error when trying to use the migration tool.

Thank you for joining the thread, @heathsmiller.
 

I'm glad to help you with your concern about the error you encountered when using the migrating tool in QuickBooks.
 

Before I can dig further and provide the resolution for your concern, may I know what you're trying to export? Are you trying to migrate from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online or from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop? 

It would be more helpful if you could provide more details about your concern. A screenshot would also be a great help.
 

I'll be waiting for your response. Take care always!
