Moving your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online is a breeze, @GANInc.

 

Here are the easy steps you can follow:

  1. First, ensure that your QuickBooks is updated to its latest release.
  2. Then, check if your company file isn’t too big to export.
  3. Once done, sign in as an admin to your QuickBooks Desktop company file.
  4. When opened, navigate to the Company menu, then select Export Company File to QuickBooks Online.
  5. Choose Start your exportconvertqbdtqbo.JPG
  6. Then, open a browser and sign in as an admin to your QuickBooks Online company.
  7. Click the Choose online company dropdown, and pick the QuickBooks Online company you want to be replaced by your company file.
  8. Tick Continue.
  9. Type the word Agree in the text field, then Replace.
  10. Hit Yes, go ahead and replace the data, then select Replace.

 

For your reference, see this article: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online.

Any specific issue? Make sure you are migrating data from any supporting QBD versions (i.e 2018-2021). Utilize the trial license of QBD 2021 if required and make sure your Total Targets < 350K. Otherwise you may purchase a 3rd party conversion service to QBO.
