Hi! I've contacted the support team and they were not able to give me solutions as of today. It's been a month already since I raised my concern, but, still the issue was not fixed.
Hello again, kgrijaldohsseniorcare.
Thanks for your prompt reply. We're here to help you get this sorted out.
Before we start, are you getting any sort of error message when exporting your payroll data? May I know what steps you've performed so far to resolve it? Knowing them will help me provide the right answer to get this matter resolved.
I look forward to your response. I'd appreciate any additional details you can share. Take care always!
Yes, whenever I'm trying to export payroll data, an error message is popping up. I've actually talked to a different support team already and they just told me that my case is still ongoing but the thing is, it's been a month already.
We've tried clearing some cache and cookies, and tried incognito as well. The agent just keep telling me to wait until tomorrow and try again exporting the data. I hope you can help us fix this, we need those data for our financial reports.
My payroll data is NO LONGER exporting either. QB automatically migrated me from Intuit Payroll to QB payroll in May of this year (2022) but did NOT join to my existing account...they created a NEW one. QB Support desk told me I must keep separated or I will lose years worth of payroll records. So I have 2 logins...my old one for Customer mgmt (Invoicing, etc.) & a new one. I log into new one to run payroll each week & then EXPORT the records into QBO. Worked fine until LAST week. (7/26/22) Still not working this week. NONE of my employee data has changed in these 2 weeks so QB has broken something! Please fix!
Let me help you export the payroll data into QuickBooks Online (QBO), Phenom.
If you export payroll to more than one QuickBooks Online (QBO) company, we'll need to disconnect from one company before exporting to another. To disconnect: in QBO, just follow the steps below:
In Online Payroll, to reconnect and export, follow the steps below:
Here's an article you can refer to for more details about setting up the export of IOP data to QuickBooks Online. Just in case you need assistance with these steps, I recommend reaching out to our representatives. Here's how:

Let me clarify....I only Export to ONE QB company. I am setup correctly because it worked from May 2022 until LAST WEEK. Last week it started giving me error message when I tried to export. Error message was: "1 transaction failed to be exported." As of today I had 3 documents to export so the error message changed to "3 transactions failed to be exported."
Not sure WHAT has changed in QB in the last 2 weeks but I have changed NO settings & it was working correctly prior to that.
Thanks for the clarification, Phenom.
Since there are no changes made in the settings, let's verify if the browser is causing this error message. We can follow the recommendation below to resolve this unexpected behavior.
We can start refreshing your browser by clicking the Reload icon or pressing F5 on your keyboard. Once done, log in to your account through an incognito window. It doesn't store cache that why we recommend using it.
If it works fine, we can clear the cache of your regular browser: Clear cache and cookies to fix issues. This helps remove any browser-related issues and refresh your browser's settings.
Aside from that, we can use other compatible browsers in QuickBooks Online.
If you need help viewing information about your business and employees in QuickBooks, we can read this article: Run payroll reports in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

I was getting the same error message. To fix it, I went to Payroll settings --> Export options and clicked the pencil icon to edit. Once I was there, a warning message was right at the top saying I needed to re-sign in with my QBO account to re-establish the connection. Once I did that, everything exported just fine. Hope that helps!
This is additional info. This error message does NOT happen every time I try to Export. It did occur today. I will paste it in here but I've also attached a file which screen grabbed the error.
"Error communication to IPP Feature = QBOV3Export: QBOV3AdapterEmployee.getEmployeeList failed. Exception = ERROR CODE:100, ERROR MESSAGE:General Authentication Error, ERROR DETAIL:AuthenticationErrorGeneral: SRV-110-Authentication Failure , statusCode: 401
General Authentication Error"
I understand this error has caused the delay in exporting your payroll, Phenom.
Let's re-established the connection of your QuickBooks Online Online. Doing so helps us rectify the issue.

If the error persists, I'd recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team to investigate the cause of this.

I'm having the same issue. I have Quickbooks Online Payroll and I'm trying to export to our Quickbooks online account (like a previous poster, we used to use Intuit Payroll and when it was discontinued, it was migrated to QB Payroll, but could not merge with our existing QB Online company, which is why we have two) I've spent HOURS on chat sessions about this. I've tried incognito, clearing the cache, trying a new browser, trying a different device. I have tried to disconnect exporting, but was not able to re-connect to the QB online. The login information is correct, it just keeps reloading the sign in page. It's beyond frustrating, I need to export these payroll transactions so I can close out August.

I also have a client using the QBO Payroll Core (who also has 2 separate companies - one with QBO and one with QBO Payroll Core). The export function stopped working for them all of a sudden about 2-3 weeks ago. They get the following error when trying to export: "Error while exporting transactions. Please try again later."
I know to do the following:
1. Go to the gear icon and select Payroll Settings.
2. Next to Export, click Edit.
The problem is that when I do this, I get NOTHING but a blank white screen. It's like the export settings screen doesn't exist. I have been able to access the export settings for this client since May when we transitioned them from IOP to QBO Payroll Core, and I have changed nothing since. I have also tried in multiple browsers, AND done incognito tabs in all of them and have the same issue, so I do not need to be given that as a possible solution. I have called twice now and have been told it's a known issue. It is now time to process month end, and they have a bunch of payroll that needs to be exported. The last time I called, they said that 36 other people had called in with the same issue. Is there anyone out there with the same problem who was able to get it fixed?
Thank you!
HI Amanda,
Your problem sounds identical to mine. Someone from the "Escalations Team" contacted me, and I'm not sure if they did that because of my posting on here or because I begged for my case to be escalated one of the many times I was in a fruitless help session.
In my case, they discovered that somehow the Payroll Core function in our main QBO account had been marked as "Active" when in fact it was not, we had a separate QBO payroll core company. Once they marked it as "Inactive" it worked and I have been able to export again as before. I hope that helps.
Should be the category of your accounts. We got the same problem and when the category was corrected, exporting function went back.
Hello, All.
I've checked with my resources and found out that the error you've encountered is "Error while exporting transactions. Please try again later." the investigation has already been closed.
With that said, this might be caused by a corrupted file cache stored in your browser, that's why you're unable to export with the transactions in QBO.
We can do some troubleshooting steps to rule this out. Let's open your QuickBooks Online account in an incognito or private browser. This mode will not save your browsing history and will also help isolate any web issues.
Here are the keyboard shortcuts:
If it works fine, you can go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. Clearing cache fixes certain problems, like loading or formatting issues on sites. It also helps pages to load faster. Please make sure to restart your browser afterward.
You can also use a different supported browser as an alternate solution.
If the same thing happens, I suggest contacting our Customer Support team. One of our agents will be able to pull up your account and check the issue you've encountered.
Here's how:

Thank you, Janelle. I really appreciate the information. I will call support again today and relay how yours was fixed. Maybe that will get me somewhere! Thanks again!!
As I said in my original post, I have already tried multiple browsers, and did the private browser window for each one as well, and I still have the same problem. I have also contacted the customer support team (by doing the call-back method) three or four times now, and each time the person looks through the whole investigation and ends up telling me "it's a known issue" and there is no estimated time for fixing. Clearly, it has been fixed though for some, since Janelle above stated she had the same issue as me and it was corrected. (BTW...thank you, Janelle. I called and offered the information you gave, but was told that wasn't my particular problem right before I was disconnected. So I will be calling back to see if they can investigate it further.)
Also... my issue isn't just the "Error while exporting transactions..." This is a relatively generic error message, so I imagine it pops up with a variety of different issues. It is highly likely that the investigation tied to that error message was closed because of a resolution that has nothing to do with my issue at all. Typically, when a client calls with an error like this, I would go to the export settings and either fix whatever category was missing or wrong (OR for a few clients it has shown that the connection had been lost and I needed to re-establish the connection.) Unfortunately, when I click to edit the Export settings in Payroll Settings, I literally see nothing--a completely blank white page. So I can't check the export categories or reconnect anything. I'm just getting really frustrated because everyone keeps suggesting things to try that either I have already done, or I can't do because I can't get into the export settings. I can't help my client, and I'm tired of telling her it's a known issue and they're working on it. I think weeks without export function is kind of a big deal, but I feel like it's not being treated that way.
That is SO frustrating and I feel your pain! My next idea would be next time you are on a help call, ask multiple times for someone from the Escalations Team to call you. (That's what the person referred to their team as when they reached out to me.) Although they asked me to walk through the issue again with a shared screen so they could see, they actually went beyond the script of "try a new browser" "try incognito" etc. and eventually found the issue (it did take several hours, most of it I was on hold while they poked around). I feel like they can maybe see more on the back end of your account than then the other support techs can, but I could be wrong about that. Good luck to you.
I have been having this problem for months. I have talked to several people at QB and once I was told they were working on it and other times I was told it is not their problem but a problem with something on my computer. I have talked to QB over and over with no help from them and they actually act like they know nothing about this problem which seems like it can't be true if this many people are having the same issue. It is making quarterly payroll tax reporting very difficult.
I recognize the importance of seamless exporting in QuickBooks Online, @SLC6. Let me route you to the right support who can help you further in sorting things out.
Considering your scenario, it'd be best to get in touch with our Customer Support team. This allows them to investigate further and provide you with the best resolution. Here's how to reach support:

Let me add to this. The people at QuickBooks are useless pieces of garbage who are trained to BS you to keep you chasing your tail. I have the exact same issue for a month now, have been completely unable to do my bookkeeping, and keep getting the same runaround. I’ve called on the phone, chatted, talked calmly, talked in an exasperated manner, you name it. EXACTLY as you said they pretend it’s not a known issue until you press and demand to speak to someone higher up, then “oh yeah it’s a known issue our engineers are working on”. For 8+ months, with NUMEROUs former Intuit payroll folks having the same issue, their “engineers” haven’t figured anything out? Is this a joke? After almost a month I’ve been told there’s no timetable for my case. I SPECIFICALLY asked them to update me, have heard NOTHING for the past 9 days. I have NEVER dealt with such utter incompetence from an online service.
