Yes, you can generally enter historical transactions, payroll, and other data in QuickBooks Online (QBO). However, there are important considerations regarding tax filing deadlines and reporting requirements.
The information you can import includes the following:
- Bank Data

- Products and Services
- Invoices
- Bills
- Checks
- Class
- Deposits
- Employee
- Estimates
- Expenses

- Time Activities
Regarding your payroll transactions, I recommend reaching out to our Live Support Team, who can review your timeline and advise on the proper setup approach to ensure compliance.
To contact Live Support, here's what you'll need to do:
