Unofficial QuickBooks Accountants Podcast

Migrating Desktop Payroll and Payments to QuickBooks Online Without Starting Over


Listen Later

Converting from QuickBooks Desktop to Online doesn't have to mean rebuilding your payroll from scratch or losing all your attachments. Dan joins Alicia and reveals how matching your Intuit ID, QuickBooks admin, and QBO primary admin can bring employee data, pay rates, and direct deposit information over automatically, even with 431 employees. He also uncovers the quietly released feature that now migrates attachments, along with the specific file prep steps needed to make it work.
