Hello, KS2511.

 

I can share the steps on how you can export the data to QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

When you plan to convert your QuickBooks Online data to QuickBooks Desktop, please check out this article first: Limitations when you convert from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Once you decided to go through with the process, our next step is to download the QuickBooks Desktop program.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. If you haven't already, download and install QuickBooks Desktop on your computer.  If you don't have a license to QuickBooks Desktop, you can download the QuickBooks Desktop File Restoration Tool for this process.
  2. Open QuickBooks Desktop.
  3. Go to File Close Company. Leave QuickBooks Desktop open while you complete the rest of the steps.

Next, sign in to your QuickBooks Online account and download the migration tool by following these steps:

 

  1. Sign in to the QuickBooks Online account you want to convert using a supported web browser.  Use your Intuit Account credentials.
  2. Select the URL and replace anything after /app/ with exportqbodatatoqbdt.  The URL should say https://app.qbo.intuit.com/app/exportqbodatatoqbdt. Then click Enter on your keyboard.  Other support task links won't work during this process.
  3. You'll see an Export Overview Window.  Read the Export Overview. You can print out it if you'd like. Click Get Started.
  4. Select Download tool to download the QuickBooks Desktop migration tool.
  5. Once you download the tool, launch the tool to install it and hit Next.
  6. Accept the terms in the license agreement and select Next.
  7. Click Complete as the type of setup, then Next.
  8. Hit Install, and then Finish.

After instructions, you can follow Steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 in this article: Export and convert your QuickBooks Online data to QuickBooks Desktop.

 

To learn more on how QuickBooks Desktop works, please feel free to read this guide: Get started with QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Please let me know in your reply if you require additional information about the process or other concerns. I'll be right here to help. Take care!
