Hi there, nicole-nicolehar.
Let's make sure to convert your QuickBooks Desktop 2016 file to QuickBooks Online.
Since QuickBooks 2016 file is an old file, we can use the QuickBooks Desktop file restoration tool to move your data into the online system.
First, let's open the online tool. Choose the QuickBooks version you're using.
After we open the link above, we'll have to click the Get Started button and sign in with your Intuit Account.
Then, let's upload your company file by following the steps below.
On the other hand, if you don't have access to your company file, we can install and use our trial version of QuickBooks 2021. Then, we can proceed with the details in Step 2: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to the QuickBooks Online section.

I'd also like to provide information about QuickBooks Self-Employed. Since this product is different from other types of QuickBooks products, we're unable to move your file to QBSE. We can sign up for a new one instead.
