Cant export payroll to another compnay

I am about to give up. I had 2 existing QB companies. One for essentials and one for payroll. QB had me upgrade to Advanced to merge the companies. It was a disaster. I closed the Advanced subscription, but on the payroll setup form, it show "not exporting" even though all the accounting info is setup. What do I do, give up and just open a new payroll account?

Thanks for sharing your concern with us, laeppard.

 

Exporting payroll data from one QuickBooks to another is unavailable. This is because payroll subscriptions is already linked to your QuickBooks account.

 

You'll want to manually enter prior payroll into your new QuickBooks account. Once done, you'll have to record the prior tax payment as well. You can bookmark these links for the detailed information when recording prior tax payments:

Also, let me share these easy-to-access articles, webinars, and video tutorials that will help you in familiarizing the different tasks, features, and functions of QBO. Below are the following:

Get back to me if you have other payroll concerns. I'd be more than happy to assist you further. Wishing you well.

As with all other attempts to get someone at quickbooks, apparently I am not making myself clear.  I will try again.  I have two company ids in qb online, not important why..  One is qb esstenial for my p&l the other is AB Payroll.   Pay roll has all the export accounts setup properly and as of two weeks ago, I could click on an export link after cutting payroll and the transactions were sent to my QB essential company.  But not the export link is not there and under setting/accounting it says "Not Exporting".  I believe the link was broken and now payroll does not know about the other account.

 

How do I or Qb fix this

I can certainly understand how an ability to export payroll data from one account to another could be useful and have submitted a suggestion about it as of today.

Just an fyi, this worked until 2 weeks ago.  I had an export link show up after I ran payroll, I would click it and the transactions would show up in my quickbooks online essentials.  I guess I will find another payroll provider
