Suggested Solution(s)


IMPORTANT: If you made any changes to your QuickBooks company file since you last created a backup, do not restore your company file.

  • Restoring an old backup file will cause all data entered since the last backup to be lost.
  • It is recommended to manually remove transactions from the last import.
In QuickBooks:
  • If you backed up QuickBooks immediately before importing the .IIF file, restore your backup file in order to reverse the last data import.
In ALLDATA Manage Online:
  1. Click Setup >> User Options >> QuickBooks.
  2. Enter a Tax Supplier >> click Update.
    • Example: BOE (Board of Equalization)
    • Note: Consult your local tax agency to determine your Tax Supplier.

  1. Begin the export process again using the same date range as the previous export.
