Need help adding a credit card and importing transactions for the credit card into quickbooks desktop pro

Thanks for sharing such detailed information, dogwood1.

2. In the Have a Question? window, enter a topic.
3. Click Contact us.
4. Hit the Get a callback button.

Thanks for the reply. I have been on a 'chat' w/ support for the last 2 hours. They don't seem to have any more information than I easily found on google searches. They wanted to create test companies and run various diagnostics. My QB is up to date and works fine. This can't be that hard to sort out?

So, I have figured out that the only items available to select, when importing the transactions, via file/utilities/import/web connect files, under "use an existing QB account" are items that are listed as "other current liability". Thus, if the account is listed as a "bank" or "credit card" it does not show up as an option. I believe this is at the core of the issue that I'm having? Not sure if I can leave my credit card account as an "other current liability"? If so, would at least offer a work around?

Thanks,

Thanks for updating us, @dogwood1.

When importing a Web Connect File, only asset and credit card liability accounts will be provided. if those aren't showing, I recommend checking your file for data damage. If your file is damaged, it may cause issues like this. Checking for errors or damage is super easy and only takes a moment. Check it out:

1. Close QuickBooks.
2. Download the QuickBooks Tool Hub file. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it (like your Downloads folder or your Windows desktop).
3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
5. When the install finishes, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub. Note: If you can't find the icon, do a search in Windows for QuickBooks Tool Hub and select the program.
6. From the tool hub, navigate to the Company File Issues tab.
7. Click Run QuickBooks File Doctor. It can take up to one minute for the file doctor to open.
8. In QuickBooks File Doctor, choose your company file from the drop-down menu. If you don’t see your file, click Browse and search to find your file.
9. Select Check your file (middle option only) and then Continue.
10. Enter your QuickBooks admin password and then select Next.
11. If the scan finds any damage, be sure to hit Repair the file in your existing version.

Thanks for the reply Michael K. Support checked for errors, re-built the file and a whole host of things, no problems with the file or the data. 

Thanks for going through the steps above, @dogwood1.

Let's create a sample company file and import your transactions from there. This way, we can check and see if this issue is within your company file or not. Let me guide you how.

In your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT):

1. Go to the File menu.
2. Select New Company. 
3. Choose Express Start. 
4. Follow the onscreen steps to finish the setup. 

I got you this article that you can read for more details: Create a QuickBooks Desktop Company File.

If you're able to import your transactions in your sample company file, then we'll have to run the Verify and Rebuild Data tools. This will resolve minor data issues within your company file. 

However, if the issue persists while using a sample company file, I suggest running a clean install. A clean install fixes issues in opening your company file and other situations. 

I'm also adding this resource for reference in reconciling your accounts in QBDT: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Desktop.

Our door is always open in case you have other concerns or questions. Have a great day!

Thanks Jason,

We tried creating a test company file, same thing, did not work. We tried a 'repair' of the program, which I think basically re-installs QB? Didn't make a difference. It seems to me it has something to do w/ the "account type"? I seriously doubt a 'clean install' will make a difference, just as all this other extraneous stuff didn't make a difference. I installed this version of QB new, only 7 months ago and has worked perfectly except for this. Why would it suddenly just have some weird glitch?

I have almost the same issue. QB does not open choices to select an account to import credit card transactions. Was you able to find a solution?

Let me help share insights to ensure you're able to import your credit card transactions, @Eagleinna.

In QuickBooks Desktop, there is a tool you can utilize that'll allow you to repair any unexpected challenging behavior like how you're unable to select an account to import your online transactions. I'll show you the steps on how to accomplish this.

2. Open and install the downloaded file.
3. On the QuickBooks Tool app, select Program Problems.
4. Click Quick Fix my Program.

Second set:

1. Go to Start.
2. Select Control Panel.
3. Under Program and Features, select Uninstall a Program.

I have spent hundred$ and many hours with this.  I use to use QBO and all worked fine.  For other reasons QBO would not work for me and went to Desktop Premiere where I now have the same issue as the majority of Desktop users.  The problem lies at the financial institution. It seems the institutions that set up direct feeds have no problem but when the institution requires you to download a QBO file of the transactions and then you try to upload CC files to QB Desktop, the "credit card" file types do not populate in the dropdown box- only "other liability accounts."  There is the issue.  for example- my Bank offers a "commercial" online banking at a level above the regular online banking.  Now they want a $75 per month fee for this rather than solve the problem with Intuit.  It is seeming as the best answer may lie with getting a card from the institutions that have already solved this problem.  I believe there are a few.  None of the lower level people are familiar with this problem and their product knowledge is minimal.  They only get the answer from the Boss who will not speak to you about it.  

Of course, in the meantime I tried a workaround and destroyed my CC files and will now likely have to spend $1000.00's to correct.  I tried changing the CC file to other liability, download the files then reconcile.  I then tried to create a CC file with the same name and then merge the 2 back to a credit card file.  I still think it might work but I blew it along the way.  But then you have to do this every time.
