How to import the IIF file into QuickBooks Desktop
- Back up your company file first (File → Back Up Company). IIF imports cannot be undone automatically.
- Check that the bank/card account and the accounts in your rules exist with exactly these names.
- In QuickBooks Desktop choose File → Utilities → Import → IIF Files, select the downloaded file and follow the prompts.
- Open the bank register and review the imported checks and deposits.
The file follows Intuit's published IIF transaction format (tab-separated TRNS/SPL/ENDTRNS records). Intuit does not provide support for creating IIF files; test with a small file first.

FAQ
Which files work?
CSV/TSV exports from online banking (date, description and amount or debit/credit columns are detected automatically) and text-based PDF statements. Scanned PDFs are not supported.
Does it work with QuickBooks Online?
QuickBooks Online imports CSV directly — use our free-preview converter LocalLedger instead.
