Export payroll transactions to QuickBooks

The way you export your payroll transactions to QuickBooks depends on the QuickBooks product you're using.

QuickBooks Desktop (IIF)
  1. On the Home page or the Payday Success page, click Export to QuickBooks.
  2. Click Export in the window that shows the number of paychecks and taxes that are included in the export file.
  3. Save the file to your computer.

    For Windows users, DO NOT click Open or the file will become corrupted and will not import correctly.
