Most of your payroll data from QuickBooks Desktop doesn't transfer to QBO. Paychecks created from QBDT will be converted as regular checks. There will be a lump sum import of the current year's paycheck information and may need to enter a prior payroll for the past year-to-date payroll info for each employee.
Learn more about what can and cannot be imported when switching from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online: What to expect when you switch from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.
For the steps on how to enter historical payroll information, please refer below:
- Go to the Workers menu at the left panel.
- Choose the Employees page.
- Select the employee to open the information, then Enter prior pay details.
