Hello, I'm failing to export my quickbooks online company to quickbooks desktop. When I get to the export overview window it only displays option to export to excel.

Hello there!

I'll share some information about exporting data from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

QuickBooks Desktop isn't available in the International version. Just to clarify, are you trying to move your data from QBO non-US version directly to QBDT US? If yes, you're unable to do it within your QBO account.

However, you can look for a third-party application that can help you with this conversion process.

Once you have successfully transferred, you can check out this article to learn the limitations to learn how features and data move from QBO to QBDT: What data does and doesn't export from QBO.

Let me know how it goes by leaving a reply below. I want to make sure you're taken care of.

If you are using QB Online non-US version, you should consider to purchase a 3rd party service to convert your data to QB Online US version as the first step before converting the same data to QB Desktop US version. You can still purchase the one time license for QB Desktop 2021.
