Let me give you some information about converting QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Payroll to QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP).
When you convert the QBDT Payroll data to QBOP some payroll information doesn't transfer because they have different features. Considering the following:
You may refer to this article for more knowledge: What to expect when you switch from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.
To resolve your Social Security (SS) and Medicare amount, you'll need to complete your QBOP setup. This way, the figures of both deductions will match.
Here's how:
For the complete instructions, visit this page: What to do after converting from QuickBooks Desktop for Windows or Mac to QuickBooks Online.
In regards to your upcoming 941 payment, I'd recommend manually enter the historical tax payments. Then, mark them as paid so your taxes are accurate. Let me show you how:
After recording, go back to the Payroll Tax Center page, then select the View tax payments you have made option. This to make sure the taxes are recorded accordingly. You may refer to this article for additional details: Recording prior tax payments.
Additionally, for those payroll transactions that are not imported to QBO, you'll want to manually enter them into the system. This way, your employees' Year-to-Date are accurate. After that, I'd suggest running payroll reports and customize them to show the specific details.
Lastly, since your company is all set up, check out our QBO Getting started guide. This page contains the How Do I question about your account.

However, now that the payroll tax payments are accurate, I cannot run a payroll. It says I have overpaid both Federal tax (941/944) as well as Federal unemployment (940) by the amounts I paid this quarter.
Additionally I have no payroll to-date numbers in QB Online - it's like I haven't done any payroll this year - only paid the tax.
Let me clarify a few things about recording prior tax payments, @shuston-riverace.
Make sure that the penalties and interest paid to the tax agencies aren't recorded with the tax due. This will result in an overpayment. If this is the case, you can edit the prior payment then create the penalties and interest manually as an expense.

Here's how to edit a prior tax payment:
Then you can start running your payroll.
I've added some articles that you can reference in the future to resolve overpayment and underpayment when you receive a tax notice from the IRS or state agency:
