Can I transfer my Quickbooks desktop files to Quickbooks online while accountants changes are pending?
Hello, sniper57! I'm excited to welcome you to the Community and see your first post here. I understand how important it is to transfer your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) company file to QuickBooks Online (QBO). Let’s discuss how you can proceed with the migration while there are pending changes from your accountant. You should be able to get back to managing your business in no time.
While the accountant's changes are pending, transferring QBDT files to QBO is unavailable.

Please note that this action is permanent, and changes won't be imported into the company file after restrictions are removed.
If you wish to get rid of the Accountant's Copy restriction, follow these steps:
If you decide to wait for your accountant's changes before transferring your QBDT file to QBO, you'll have to import their changes to update your company file.
You can find more insight about the Accountant's Copy through this article: The Accountant's Copy workflow, limitations, and guide.
