Hi there, Cmckay.

Thank you for dropping by the Community. I'm happy to provide some feedback for you. Unfortunately, you can't import data from previous payroll into QuickBooks Online, QBO only uses information for the current year for tax purposes and because it is a cloud storage based system there's only limited room. So my recommendation to you would be to store your payroll information on you computer, whether in Excel or another spreadsheet type software. If you'd like to leave feedback to our product engineers you can do so at this link. I'm also including a link to our webinars and events page, in which you can sign up for classes and more to learn additional information about a number of products.

If you have any other questions, feel free to post here anytime. Thank you and have a lovely day.
