Hi there, @peggycnelson.
Let me route you on the right path to help you migrate the files from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Here's how:
- Power up QuickBooks.
- Find Help, then Click QuickBooks Desktop Help/Contact Us.
- Click Help us.
- Provide a brief description of your concern, then select Continue.
- Sign in to your Intuit account.
- Select to chat with us or Have us call you.
Additionally, I'd like to leave this article on how to condense the files: Use the Condense Data utility.
I'll be around if you have other concerns about migrating your file from QBDT to QBO. Let me know in the comment section below and I'll make sure to get back to you.
