As you intend to use your old version of QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to export data into QuickBooks Online (QBO), I'll give you an option for this, @cerakote.  

Currently, we do not provide any more support for older versions of QBDT. Therefore, a third-party application is necessary for users of these versions who wish to export their files and data to QBO. This integrated application facilitates the transfer.

Visit our QuickBooks Marketplace to download the application.

Furthermore, visit this article for detailed steps on exporting files and data from QDBT into QBO: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online.

Moreover, visit this website to check on the updated plans and pricing: QuickBooks Online Plans & Pricing.

We in the community are here to help you whenever you need help managing your files on another platform. Thank you for choosing QuickBooks, Take care!
