QB Online US to QB Desktop US?

Which QB Desktop year version do you ave?

Welcome to the Community, @jredmond-trinity.

I'll be happy to guide you through moving the QuickBooks Online (QBO) data to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

Before transitioning from QBO to QBDT, ensure QuickBooks is up-to-date to avoid differences in book appearance. If necessary, you can download a trial version as an alternative.

To move QBO data to QBDT, Below are the steps.

Step 1: Download QuickBooks Desktop

1. If you haven't already, download and install QBDT on your computer.
2. Open QBDT.
3. Go to File and select Close Company. Leave QuickBooks open while you complete the rest of the steps. Note: You can only move data from QBDT for Windows. Once you move it to Windows, you can convert it to QuickBooks for Mac.

Step 2: Sign in to QuickBooks Online and download the migration tool

1. Sign in to the QBO account you want to convert with a browser we support. Use your Intuit Account credentials.
2. Select the URL and replace anything after /app/ with exportqbodatatoqbdt. The URL should say https://app.qbo.intuit.com/app/exportqbodatatoqbdt. Then select Enter on your keyboard. Other support task links won't work during this process.
3. You'll see Export Overview. Read the Export Overview. You can print out it if you'd like. Click on Get Started.
4. Select the Download tool to download the QBDT migration tool.
5. Once you download the tool, launch the tool to install it and click on Next.
6. Accept the terms in the license agreement and select Next.
7. Select Complete as the type of setup, then Next.
8. Click on Install, then Finish.

Hi.  I just got Desktop for Mac. I want to move my data from QBO.

When I follow the steps, it says to first download the Migration Tool. But it doesn't work on my Mac! I just see SETUP.EXE, but the tool doesn't open.  What should I do?
