Can I convert sage 50 to QuickBooks online?

Of course you can, Jimmy. 

The easier way to migrate your data is to use the QuickBooks Desktop conversion tool. I'll guide you all the way on this process.

We'll need to install and download QuickBooks Desktop software. We have trial links available so you don't need to purchase. Once done, we'll convert your data to QuickBooks Online. 

Here are the steps:

1. Download and install a desktop version
2. Migrate your data from Sage 50 to QuickBooks Desktop using the conversion tool
3. Convert data to QuickBooks Online

Please note that these are the following the conversion tool can't convert: 

• Paychecks (will be converted as journal entries)
• Employee Year-To-Date (YTD) information
• Payroll Items
• Individual employee wage or deduction information
• Fixed Asset items
• Work tickets
• Closed or partially closed Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, and Estimates

On another note, year-end filing is near to come. If you'll use QuickBooks Online before the filing starts, you'll need to do the following:

1. Set up your account
2. Enter prior payroll
3. Reconcile books 

We won't be able to generate federal and state payroll tax forms for the last 3 quarters. So, you'll have to manually prepare those forms if you haven't filed them. 

If you'll be using QuickBooks Online for 2020, I would recommend converting your data on the first month of the year to start fresh.
