Options to transfer payroll data from Quickbooks desktop to Quickbooks Online

NOTE - I do subscribe to Intuit QB Enhanced Payroll Service - there must be a way to transfer the data from there.

Hi there, @Rydjor.

Yes, you're correct. The option to move payroll data from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to QuickBooks Online (QBO) is unavailable. 

Right now, you'll need to enter past year-to-date payroll info for each employee in QBO. Once you finish setting up your payroll, you can now start creating paychecks.

You can also search for a third-party app that would help you move your payroll data into QBO. Simply search it here: https://desktop.apps.com/home

To know more about what doesn't come over from QBDt to QBO, please check out this article: Learn how features and data move from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

Moreover, here's a quick guide you can use after moving your data from QBDT to QBO: What to do after you move from QuickBooks Desktop for Windows to QuickBooks Online.
 

Please let me know if you have any other questions in the comment section below. I'm always here to help. Have a great day!

You have to migrate the data manually or purchase a 3rd party migration service.

I have 2 more questions:

1. Is there any good 3rd party app that can cleanly transfer all payroll data from QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2019 to QuickBooks Online?

2.  Any recommendations for an alternate payroll processor that can import all my payroll data from QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2019?
