Hello there, @asy. I'll share some insights on how you can run payroll reports in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) after migrating to QuickBooks Online (QBO).
To start, please note that view-only access remains available for one year after your subscription ends. If you're still within that year after canceling your subscription, you can continue to view and run your payroll reports. Here's an article that lists the payroll reports you can access: Run payroll reports.
You can also provide any specific error messages or screenshot if you're still unable to view your reports, even though you're within the date range to access your company data.
Another option is to restore your company file to a 30-day trial version of QBDT. You can then run your payroll reports from there. You can visit this link to download the software: Download a trial of QuickBooks Desktop.
Alternatively, you can re-migrate your company file to QBO to fix some corrupted data. You can do this from the trial version or use an online tool to re-migrate the files. This tool will instantly transfer data from QuickBooks company files (.QBW), portable files (.QBM), and backup files (.QBB) to QBO. Here’s how:
- Select the link for your QuickBooks version: QuickBooks Pro/Premier or QuickBooks Enterprise.
- Choose Get Started, then sign in with your Intuit Account.
- Click Select File then browse to the supported QBDT file you want to move.
- Tap Open to upload the file.
- Once your file is uploaded, we’ll auto-update it to the latest version of QBDT. Next, you'll see an option to move to QBO.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to guide you through the move to QBO.
Furthermore, you can check out this article to learn what you need to do before using the online tool: Move your books to QuickBooks Online with an online tool. You can also review the qualifications required to utilize this online tool.
