Hello, @kari.vandermaas.
Before converting to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), make sure to have the latest version of QBDT and an Internet Explorer 11 installed.
To export and convert your QBO to QBDT:
- Set up Internet Explorer so you can import everything smoothly.
- Go to your QBDT account and right-click the QBDT icon and select Run as administrator.
- Log in to your QBO account and prepare to export your QBO data from the Gear icon (⚙).
- After you finished exporting your data, check if it was exported correctly by running the Profit and Loss report on an Accrual basis both in QBDT and QBO.
See this article for detailed guidance: Export and convert your QuickBooks Online data to QuickBooks Desktop.
To know more about how your data was converted, check the following article: Limitations when you convert from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop.
I’m always here if you need further help with converting your data. Keep safe and have a wonderful day!
