Hi there, @MDPWW2011.
Thanks for reaching out. I hope you're having a great day so far.
Currently, the option to export payroll data from QuickBooks Desktop via CSV file is unavailable. However, I have another solution you can use to move the data to Online.
First, you'll need to ensure you have the latest update in Desktop:
- In QuickBooks, press F2 (or CTRL+1) to open the Product Information window.
- Check your current version and release. You’ll have greater success if you have the following QuickBooks versions and releases or higher: 2019 R17, 2020 R15, 2021 R10, and 2022 R5.
- Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release if needed.
Next, move your QuickBooks Desktop Payroll file to QuickBooks Online Payroll. Here's how:
- Sign in as an admin to the company file you need to import.
- Go to Company, then select Export Company File to QuickBooks Online.
- Select Get Started to export your data.
- Click on Export all your company data, then Continue. Since your QuickBooks Online Payroll file doesn't have accounting turned on, none of your accounting info will export.
- Sign in as an admin to your QuickBooks Online account.
- Choose the QuickBooks Online company you want to move your payroll info to. If you have multiple companies, select the one you want from the list.
- Hit Continue.
- Choose Export.
- Once the Export completes, sign in to your QuickBooks Online Payroll.
- Check out this guide to finish your setup and run your payroll in QuickBooks Online.
That should do the trick. For additional details about this process, check out: Move your QuickBooks Desktop Payroll data to QuickBooks Online Payroll.
Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm always happy to lend a hand. Take care!
