How can i download older purchases from my credit card as far back as 2017?

Let me help you import your old transactions, usercontact.

QuickBooks Self-Employed downloads 30 to 90 days of past transactions. If you want to import older ones, you'll want to download them first on your bank;s website. Then, import it in QBSE.

Here's how:

1. Sign in to your bank’s website.
2. Follow your bank’s steps to download your transactions as a CSV file. This is usually a button or link on your account page.

To import:

1. Go to the Profile icon and select Imports.
2. Select Import transactions.
3. Follow the onscreen steps to upload the CSV file.
4. Select Import.
