QuickBooks for Mac does not have a built-in payroll service like the Windows version. When you click the Payroll link you are taken to an external website for processing employee checks. Since QuickBooks doesn't provide a built-in method for manually tracking payroll, employers who want to track payroll for employees in QuickBooks must subscribe and pay a monthly fee to access the online QuickBooks Payroll for Mac service. Before enrolling in the QuickBooks payroll system, make sure each employee's name is spelled exactly how you plan on spelling it for paychecks. If the data between QuickBooks and QuickBooks payroll don't match, the program won't work correctly.

Because QuickBooks for Windows and QuickBooks for Mac use different types of databases, there is not an Accountant's Copy feature available in the Mac version of QuickBooks. For that reason, it is sometimes necessary to convert a file from the Mac version to the Windows version, and then back again.

Reference the steps below to learn how to convert a QuickBooks file. Due to differences between operating systems, converting a file from QuickBooks for Mac to QuickBooks for Windows requires some file preparation.

Preparing the File

  3. Open the file in QuickBooks.
  4. Delete all memorized transactions and memorized reports.
  5. Rebuild the company file (select File > Utilities > Rebuild Data).
  6. Run the Custom Transaction Detail Report, changing the date range to All and enabling the Memo column.
