transferring QBW 2021 file to online essentials account

Hey all,

             appreciate any help  you might have. I received a QBW ( desktop version ) of my 2021 business account info from my accountant. I want to transfer this to my online essentials account but I do not have a QB desktop version to send it with. 

 

thanks

I'm can help you get all your data moved to QuickBooks Online without a moment's delay, @Pixureman

 

There is currently no direct way to open and import this into your current QuickBooks Online (QBO) account. You'll need to open the file in the Desktop version, then import it to QBO. If you no longer have the QBDT software, not to worry, you can install our trial version. From there, you can restore the backup copy.

 

Here's how to export the file:

  1. Restore the backup copy.
  2. Click the Company menu.
  3. Choose Export Company File to QuickBooks Online.
  4. Select Start your export.
  5. Sign in as an admin to your QuickBooks Online company.
  6. Follow the next on-screen instructions.
     

Here's a link with the details on how you can move your Desktop file to Online: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online.

 

I recommend checking out the import limitations so that you can make sure everything is in order before starting the export.

 

Let me know if you still have further questions about your data. I'm always here to answer them for you. Take care and have a great rest of the day!
