Update your version of QuickBooks for the Mac to the latest release.
#Change quickbooks for windows to mac for mac#
You cannot roundtrip to QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions (QBES) because QBES cannot produce a QuickBooks for Mac backup.If e-filing and/or e-paying taxes and forms, you need complete the e-file setup in the Payroll Setup. You will need to enter the payroll service key into the company file in the QuickBooks for Windows version. The subscription information, payroll settings and payroll data that you enter will be lost when the file is converted back to QuickBooks for Mac. Because QuickBooks for Mac does not have internal payroll, we suggest that you not do payroll in the QuickBooks for Windows version of the file.While the accountant has your file, do not enter data into your Macintosh file, else you will have to reenter the data when you receive for file back.You must have the administrator password to complete the roundtripping process.Once you have made the backup for Windows, do not upgrade QuickBooks for Mac either to a new version, e.g., QBM 2012 to QBM 2013, or to a new release, e.g., R4 to R5.If you use different years, you may have issues updating your file to later versions or roundtripping in the future. For example if you have QuickBooks for Mac 2012, be sure your accountant is using QuickBooks for Windows 2012. Be sure your QuickBooks for Mac and your accountant’s QuickBooks for Windows are the same year and the latest release for that year.We have have automated this process such that QuickBooks for Windows can create a backup for QuickBooks for Mac and vice versa.
