I have quickbooks 2016 and it no longer works with the new Mac OS I need help transferring the old data from the quickbooks desktop to transfer to quickbooks online trial

It’s great to see you in the Community, jones-sean5.

Let’s use a free trial version for QBDT to seamlessly convert it to QBO. I’m here to guide you on how to accomplish this task.

When downloading the free trial, make sure your computer meets the system requirements. This will ensure the desktop program is compatible with your setup and will help avoid unexpected behavior. Check out this guide to get the link and proceed to the QuickBooks Mac 2021: Download a trial.

Once you’re ready, restore the data file. Then, import your desktop data to the online version. Here’s how:

1. Open your QuickBooks Desktop for Mac company file.
2. Go to the File menu to select Export to QuickBooks Online.
3. Then, log in to your existing QuickBooks Online account using your user ID and password.
4. Press OK, got it.

The following guide provides insights into the process. It lists all the details to consider before moving the desktop data to the online platform: Converting a Desktop for Mac file to Online.

However, if you’re using QBDT for Windows, follow the recommended steps found in this article: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online.

Additionally, this article contains resources to seamlessly perform the conversion process: The QuickBooks Guide to Converting QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

You should install the trial license of QBD Mac 2021, open your old company file, then migrate to QB Online.
