Round-tripping a QuickBooks for Mac file to QuickBooks for Windows and back

"Round-tripping” refers to the process of converting a QuickBooks for Mac file to QuickBooks for Windows, and then converting it back again to QuickBooks for Mac.

For example, if you use QuickBooks for Mac to run your business, but your accountant uses QuickBooks for Windows, you may want to convert your Mac file to Windows so that your accountant can review your file, and then send it back to you with changes that you can then view in QuickBooks for Mac.

Since QuickBooks for Mac does not have the exact same features as QuickBooks for Windows, you may lose some data when you convert the Windows file back to Mac. Click the link at the beginning of Converting a QuickBooks file from Windows to Mac to see a list of what is and isn't converted.
