Importing from Quickbooks Online to Turbotax

[CyberCrypto]

Download the app exportmybooks - it is a simple, simple program that downloads a perfect version of QBO for your QB desktop.  If you don't have a desktop program, I am sure you can import to TurboTax from the saved file.  I agree with everyone, however, that Intuit lacks in options that should be standard.

its seems that even the turbo tax people do not know how to do this.  This is crazy!!!

Hello, 

Did anyone ever accomplish downloading QB online to desktopmso it can be pulled over to TurboTax for business?

The ability to import your QuickBooks Online (QBO) data to TurboTax is currently unavailable.  Please see the workaround provided in the below QuickBooks thread.

So the current "workaround" to being unable to import from Quickbooks Online DIRECTLY into Turbo Tax Home & Business is that I have to pay $800/year for Quickbooks Desktop ON TOP of paying my Quickbooks online rate? 

That seems a bit ridiculous. I was hoping to SAVE money by doing my own taxes, but that will net me spending $300 more than paying an accountant to do it for me. Ridiculous oversight on Intuit's part. If that is their idea of a workaround, then they should offer Quickbooks Online subscribers the option to download Quickbooks Desktop for free simply to import then export to Turbo Tax H&B.

If you have QuickBooks online Self Employed version there might be a way.  

If you are trying to import QuickBooks Self Employed version into the Turbo Tax Desktop program, you could try importing it to the online Self Employed version and them move your return to the Desktop program to finish and file without paying for online.

Or try this if it's still available......

Importing data from QBO to TurboTax can be done by converting the data to QuickBooks Desktop. You need to download a trial version of the program to start the export and import process using Internet Explorer.

Please see this information found on the Quickbooks website answered by a Quickbooks employee, you can transfer by using their trial version: Quickbooks Transfer

This is incredibly foolish by QB Online.  They encourage us all to swap from desktop to Online and then Online cannot export to their own product of turbotax business.  Thumbs down Quickbooks.
