Thank you for reaching out, but what is support going to do that they couldnt do before.  What sort of expert do I specifically need to ask for?  Tks

Thanks for reaching out, but what sort of solution will they be able to offer that the others could not.  What so of expert do I need to ask for?

No, this is not a viable solution.  The solution lies in the import data.  I was able to strip my vendor ein and vendor name, but import WILL NOT import using the same name.  It apparently WILOL allow you to do this with products, but not Vendors.  Without retyping all the EIN back in, how do I get them placed in the TaxID field of the vendor?

We hear you, @bmcc1200. This has been so challenging on your end and we empathize with you with what you feel. Allow us to share some info. 

We agree with what our colleague stated above. The tax IDs are removed due to data transfer. The reason why we're having a hard time importing it again since QBO no longer allows the same vendor name.

With that in mind, we recommend manually entering and placing it in the Tax ID field.

We're glad to have you here. Please come back if you have additional questions. We'll be willing to lend a hand. Take care.

I have come to that conclusion because Intuit is obviously not a very automated company.  FYI, this company was NEVER migrated.  You are mixing it up with another company I migrated recently from my DT but Intuit doesnt want to take responsibility for their db errors in deleting my data and I dont have the time to deal with incompetent people,
