Online vs Desktop

I'm getting EXTREMELY frustrated with TurboTax. We just started an LLC (7 members) last summer (6/19). I JUST started using QuickBooks Online because I thought it would be easy to use with TurboTax. Apparently there isn't a way to sync QB Online with the TurboTax Business Desktop version?? I was on with customer service for 30 minutes and finally hung up on her because she did not understand the difference between the two. Hopefully someone on here can actually answer?

The following is from the QuickBooks team:

 

Currently, the ability to directly import your data to Turbotax Desktop is not yet available......you'll have to convert your QuickBooks Online data to QuickBooks Desktop using a trial subscription.

I have a similar issue.

Do I need to buy TurboTax Business Desktop version or can I use Turbo Tax Home & Business 2019 Desktop version to import?

Turbo Tax Home & Bussiness is a better fit, as I'm filling my start-up LLC business on my personal taxes.  All the forums I submitted to the government, have stated that I was planning on filing my taxes with this method.   Changing this would cause me to restructure my LLC, so frustrating.

TurboTax Business would not be used to prepare a return for a single-member LLC without an election to be treated as a corporation. You would use TurboTax Home & Business in that case.
