How do I export my QuickBooks Self-Employed information to TurboTax Self-Employed or TurboTax Live?

The export can be done only from the online version of QuickBooks Self-Employed to TurboTax Online Self-Employed or TurboTax Live.  It will not work from QuickBooks Self-Employed to the TurboTax CD/Download; or from the mobile app version of QuickBooks Self-Employed.

  • Your accounts must be connected for the import to work: This means you log into QuickBooks Self-Employed and either TurboTax Self-Employed or TurboTax Live with the same log-in credentials.

Important! Before exporting, make sure your information in QuickBooks is final, as the export can only be done once. Should the export fail, you can manually input your business information into TurboTax Online Self-Employed by selecting Federal Taxes, then Income & Expenses, and working in the SELF-EMPLOYMENT INCOME/EXPENSES section.

Here's how to export:

  1. Sign in to QuickBooks Self-Employed,
  2. Select Tax Checklist in the upper right corner, or from the Annual taxes page, select Show checklist to get started.
  3. When you’re ready, select Export to TurboTax in the checklist.
  4. After the export, you will automatically be signed in to TurboTax using your same user ID and password from QuickBooks Self-Employed.

Now you can start on your tax return.

Some information will need to be entered manually into TurboTax Self-Employed or TurboTax Live, as these items do not import:

Note: You will still need to manually enter your self-employment income into TurboTax. TurboTax needs all of the details about this income in order to report it accurately on your tax return. After you export your data from Quickbooks Self-Employed, TurboTax will guide you to enter your income.

Here are a few other things you should know:

  • TurboTax will not require a service code for payment.  Instead, your complimentary TurboTax payment will be recognized by the program when you use your Quickbooks Self-Employed User ID and password. So, make sure you are accessing TurboTax with the same User ID and password that you use for your QuickBooks Self-Employed account.
  • Meal expenses are imported at 100% deductible. TurboTax then determines the deductibility (50% for most businesses).
  • QuickBooks estimated tax payments generally cover federal income taxes, not self-employment taxes.
