Thanks for joining this thread, kip15.

 

The Intuit Interchange Format (IIF) file you created with QuickBooks Online is saved in whichever folder you selected when downloading it. Generally this is the Downloads folder on your computer, unless a different area was specified when saving it.
 

If you continue experiencing issues finding your file, I'd recommend creating a new IIF file and taking note of which folder you save it to. Detailed steps for doing this can be found in AileneA's post.
 

Once you have your IIF file, it can be imported into your books:

  1. Sign in to the company file as an admin.
  2. In your top menu bar, go to File, then Import.
  3. Choose From IIF Files.
  4. Pick the appropriate file.


Next, you can begin exporting payroll transactions, such as paychecks and tax payments.
 

Here's how:

  1. Use the Gear (⚙️) icon.
  2. Go to Payroll settings.
  3. In your Export section, click Export transactions.
  4. A screen will appear letting you know how many transactions and which types are being set up for export. You may need to allow popups in your web browser for this window to display.
  5. Select Export.


Another option to show your paychecks in QuickBooks Desktop is manually adding payroll information.
 

If there's any additional questions, I'm just a post away. Have an awesome day!
