    Thanks for your interest in transitioning from QuickBooks Self-Employed to QuickBooks Online, jclark801. The process is easy, and you won't lose your info.

     

    There are two ways to move your data from QBSE to QBO. You can do it automatically by upgrading within the Self-Employed version or manually do the process. Since some information might not be migrated due to their distinct functionalities, you'll want to download all of your reports before starting the process.

     

    Here's how:

     

    1. Go to the Taxes section, select a tax year.
    2. On the Email tax details dropdown menu, click Download tax details and Download tax summary.
    3. You can also select the Review and send button to Download reports like Profit and Loss, Receipts, Tax Summary, and Tax Details.

     

    Once done, proceed to Step 2 in this article: Switch from QuickBooks Self-Employed to QuickBooks Solopreneur. It also provides detailed instructions for manual transitioning if you prefer that method.

     

    Next, explore the platform and the navigation menu to get the most out of QuickBooks.
