Employees and payroll

Hi there, @Familylivewv.

 

I'm here to provide some extra steps on how to import your payroll data to your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac. 

 

When exporting your payroll data from QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll, the system will download an IIF file. Ensure to take note of the folder you've saved the file to easily track it.

 

Nevertheless, you can locate the file when you're ready to import it into your Mac platform. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Click the File menu.
  2. Hover on Import.
  3. Then select From IIF Files.
  4. The system will show you the list of IIF files you've downloaded, then choose the file you want to import.

 

If you're unable to locate it or you don't have it anymore, I propose downloading it again in your Payroll settings. Then, import it to your Mac program.

 

Once done, ensure to check your data in your Chart of Accounts to make sure the payroll details are properly imported. Just go to the Company menu, then select Chart of Accounts.

 

Additionally, let me share this resource to guide you fix some issues in exporting data: QuickBooks Desktop export troubleshooting (Mac, IIF, & One-Click).

 

 Keep me posted if you have other concerns managing your data in QuickBooks. I'll be more than happy to help you further. Have a wonderful day!
