I followed all the steps - exported QBO to QBDT, importing QBT to TurboTax - it's been running for about 2 hours. It feels like it's frozen. How long can I expect this import to TurboTax to take?  Not a happy camper as I was a Sr. Software Exec for almost 30 years - 20 of it in SaaS.  This should be a very simple button click from one company product to another. I'm stuck for this year but unless you can minimize my pain I won't stay. 

I understand how time-consuming importing is on your end, @Houleman. No worries, I can provide additional information and route you to the appropriate support. 

Importing to TurboTax would usually take less than 30 minutes. There may be delays depending on the size and data of the file being imported.

In your case, I recommend contacting our Customer Support team. This way, they will be aware of your experience and investigate it further.

Here's how:

1. In the top menu bar, go to Help, then QuickBooks Desktop Help.
2. Click Contact Us.
3. Input a brief description of the issue in the What can we help you with? field.
4. Hit Continue.
5. Select the appropriate option: 

•  We’ll contact you for a callback.
• Message Us to start an instant messaging session.

By doing this, they can investigate why it's been running for about two hours and still frozen.

Run the Condense Data utility to lower your file size before exporting your data to TurboTax.

I am following this thread. If you find a solution about the data import into TurboTax, please post an update. Good luck to you.

This is insane. They push QB Online at every turn, and want nearly $2000 a year for Quickbooks Desktop, and I can't port over my information from QBO to TT?? I have to go through and do it manually?? This is the last time I use ANY Intuit product!

QB Desktop 2024 starts from $650.

Do Xero and TT talk to each other? 

Hi there, acubeth.

TurboTax is a tax preparation software by Intuit, compatible with QuickBooks, that makes filing taxes easy. To know more about it, you can check out its official website.

If you want to integrate TurboTax with Xero, I suggest reaching out to Xero support to confirm the compatibility of the products.

I also suggest contacting the Intuit Developer Team to help verify the possibility of creating an API integration between the two programs.

If you want to start importing your QuickBooks data into TurboTax, please feel free to browse through this article: How do I import QuickBooks data into TurboTax Business?

If you have any other questions about app integrations in QuickBooks, please feel free to reach out. I'll be around to lend a helping hand.

No. You will need a 3rd party connector
