We hear you, cachance. 

I understand how the workflow you're looking for is beneficial to your business. However, as of this moment, we still don't have the option to import your payroll data to your QuickBooks Online.
  

I suggest following my colleagues steps above on how to send a feedback. These requests and suggestions are forwarded to the Product Development Team, and I want to let you know that your voice matters and each update our developer team creates are considered that it benefits our customer's business. 
 

To learn more what you can import in QBO, see this article: Common questions about importing data to QuickBooks Online.
