For older QuickBooks Desktop versions, convert to the IIF format.

QBO (web connect) transaction files are imported the same way as transactions downloaded directly from your bank. After import, open imported statement under Bank Feeds, match vendor records and assign expense/income accounts and add transactions to the register.

IIF transaction files are imported directly into the Quickbooks Desktop register and require exact vendor names and expense/income accounts. The ProperConvert app provides interface to map payee names to vendor names and assign categories (expense/income accounts) based on payee names or direct edit.

Import Into QuickBooks Online

For QuickBooks Online, convert to QBO (web connect) format or QFX format or as CSV files (set target as "Quickbooks Online"). Quickbooks Online imports more transaction details through QBO and QFX files (date, amount, payee, memo, check) than CSV files (date, amount, description).

Import into Quicken

For Quicken for Windows, convert to the QIF or QFX format if you have Quicken 2021-2024.

For Quicken for Mac, convert to the QFX format is you have Quicken 2021-2024.

For older Quicken for mac versions, convert to the CSV Mint format.

QIF transaction files are easily imported by Quicken (please make sure to your QIF target accordingly) and allow to supply categories and tags for each transaction. The ProperConvert app provide easy to use mapping interface to assign categories based on payee names or manually during the conversion. QIF files have less restrictions compared to QFX file as they do not identify financial institutions like QFX files.

For QFX transactions, Quicken uses the renaming rules to assign categories during import.
