How to import payroll data into qbo

Hi Wilton!

We can only enter year-to-date payroll data to QuickBooks Online. Also, you'll want to do this during setup or before creating paychecks in the program.

You can try looking for third-party apps that import payroll data to QuickBooks. Simply click on Apps in the left navigation bar and search for something like transaction importer or data importer.

We're just right here if you have more questions about entering your payroll data. If you need references for payroll, feel free to check them on the QuickBooks Support page.

You can import the historical payroll data as Journal Entry into QBO. Utilize the trial period of TP Importer to import it in bulk.

You'll need to manually enter the payroll details after creating your payroll account. I'd be glad to share these steps with you:

1. Go to the Payroll menu and proceed to the Employees menu.
2. Select the name of the employee, then click the Pencil icon beside Pay.
3. Click the Pencil icon beside Step 3, 4, and 5 to enter the hourly rate, deductions, and other payroll details.
4. Select Done.

QBO limits detailed payroll imports. Use summary journals for history or connect a supported provider. If you get payroll totals in a file Skyvia can post the monthly summary journal to QBO for you.
