You're right, Geoffrey. You do not need to pay for a QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) subscription to import your QuickBooks Online (QBO) data into TurboTax. Let me discuss the specifics below.

Since your QBDT free trial has expired, please uninstall the software and perform a clean installation of a new QBDT free trial. This method allows you to convert your QBO data into a QBDT file, which you can transfer to TurboTax without incurring costs. Here's how:

First, remove your current QBDT free trial.

1. Open the Windows Start menu. Search for “Control Panel”, then open Control Panel.
2. Click Programs and Features or Uninstall a Program.
3. From the list of programs, select the version of QBDT you want to remove.
4. Hit Uninstall/Change, Remove, and then Next.  If you don’t see this option, sign out and sign back into Windows as an admin (or a user with admin rights).

Then, do a clean installation of the new free trial of QBDT . After that, convert your files and move them to TurboTax Desktop.

Additionally, I will share this article to guide you about the Windows version compatibility for TurboTax Desktop, ensuring smooth integration: TurboTax Experience. 

Following the steps above will help you efficiently complete the process for your 2025 tax return. If you have other questions about managing your data in QBO, click the Reply button below. The Community team is always around to assist.
