We use quickbooks online and I purchased and downloaded turbo tax business. When I get to the import section of turbo tax, I am unable to connect the two.

Hi there, @userjennie.

I appreciate you for reaching out to the Community. Let me share some clarification about uploading data to Turbo Tax.
 
Currently, an option to import file from QuickBooks Online to Turbo Tax is unavailable. You'll need the Desktop version to perform the process.

Since we no longer support migration from QBO to QuickBooks Desktop, I  recommend searching for a third-party app if you want to push through. Some of them offer services to help you transfer the information.

We can't suggest an app to use, but you can check out our Intuit App store. Here's how:

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks account.
2. On the left navigation bar, click Apps.
3. Search for an app. 

If you're able to find one, you can download a trial version of QuickBooks Desktop. You can use the program for up to 30 days.

Please know that I appreciate your input on this feature. We always update the features in QuickBooks Online, and this preference might be added in the future. 

While unavailable, I suggest you visit our QuickBooks Blog to stay updated with all the changes that are being made.

For additional reference, I've attached a link you can use about how to upload the file using QuickBooks Desktop: How do I import QuickBooks data into TurboTax Business?.

Post a comment below if you have any other questions regarding importing the data. I'll be more than happy to help. Wishing you a good one.

You may utilize the trial period of a bookkeeping service app to export QBO data to TurboTax. You don't need to install thee trial license of QB Desktop.
