How do I create a tax exchange format file, to export date from Quickbooks Online to Quickbooks Turbo Tax Desktop Mac.

Hi there, JAXBLACKCAR.

 

Currently, there's no option to create or export tax exchange format files from Quickbooks Online to Quickbooks Turbo Tax Desktop Mac. The reason is you're unable to convert directly between two versions.

 

However, you can follow the export process so you can transfer your data from QBO to Turbo Tax account. To do that, you'll need first to downloading a free trial of QuickBooks Desktop. From there, you can use this when exporting your data.

 

Once finished with downloading the product, you'll need to export your QuickBooks Online data to QuickBooks Desktop. Here's a Community Article that provides detailed steps: Export QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop.

 

After that, and you already reviewed your data in QuickBooks Desktop, you can move on to the final step of exporting to TurboTax. You can refer to this article that walks you through the process: Import QuickBooks data into TurboTax Business.

 

Please check this article to see how your data convert from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop and what are the limitations when moving between two software: Limitations when you convert from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Please know that you're always welcome to post if you have any other concerns. Wishing you and your business continued success.
