I'm here to assist you in migrating your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) company file to QuickBooks Online (QBO), @Snafix.

 

Firstly, I appreciate your efforts in troubleshooting the issue and reaching out to our support team for assistance.

 

To provide an accurate solution, could you please let me know which version of QuickBooks (QB) you're using?

 

To address your Profile 2 Problem 1, I recommend following the advice of the support agent and creating a new ProAdvisor account with a different email address. This will prevent QB from overwriting your data.

 

Regarding your Profile 2 Problem 2, you can use an online tool to move your books from QBDT to QBO since you can't access the migration button. Let me guide you how.

 

  1. Choose the link for your QB version:
  2. Select Get Started and log in with your Intuit Account.
  3. Click Select File and look for the supported QBDT file you want to move. It's important to note that you can only upload one file at a time.
  4. Select the Open button or drag and drop the file to upload it.
  5. Once your file is uploaded, we'll automatically update it to the recent version of QBDT. Then, you'll see an option to move to QBO.
  6. Follow the on-screen steps to move your data to QBO.

 

If you still encounter any issues while migrating from QBDT to QBO, you can contact our support team for assistance. They have the right tools and resources to take a closer look at your account and provide a solution.

 

For more detailed information regarding the online tool migration process, you can visit this article: Move your books to QuickBooks Online with an online tool.

 

Additionally, I'm sharing this article that explains how features and data move from QBDT to QBO: Learn how features and data move from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

 

Moreover, I suggest checking out this link and watching videos to learn your way around QBO: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/quickbooks-online/help-tutorial/get-started/.

 

Please let us know if you have further concerns about the migration process. We're always here to assist you in any way we can. Stay safe!
