I sent my accountant a portable file to work on. While she had it I had to run payroll and make liability payments. I received the portable file back, how do I get the changes I made in my version into the accounts portable file? When I open the accountant's portable file it's showing I did not make last months federal/state liability payments. How do I get these entered into the accountants portable file?
Thank you.

When you sent your file originally, did the transfer file say .QBM, .QBB, or .QBX at the end?
If it was a .QBM portable file or .QBB backup, then there is no option to merge your accountant's changes into your working file unless you re-enter the changes from one file into the other. That function is for accountant's copy files only (.QBX or sent using accountant transfer service)
It's great to see you here, kar71. Let us assist you in inputting the missing federal/state liability payments into the accountant's Portable Company File (PCF) and merging your changes into the file.
Before we proceed, I suggest creating a backup of your QuickBooks file, ensuring your data is safe throughout the process.
To enter the missing liability payments into the PCF using QuickBooks Desktop, you can follow these steps:
After entering the missing liability payments, it's time to create an Accountant's Copy. Here's how:
Your accountant can now open your Accountant's Copy and merge the missing liability payments with the PCF using the Import Accountant's Changes option under the File menu.
Once the merging process is complete, review your work and have your accountant review and reconcile the data to ensure it's up-to-date and accurate.
We understand the importance of accurate record-keeping and staying on top of your financial obligations. We are here to help ensure the QuickBooks Desktop experience is as smooth and seamless as possible. We look forward to supporting your success in the future.

It was a .QBM file. You confirmed what I thought.
