IIF format is the format to use for older QuickBooks versions. Look for converters converting to the QBO format.

QuickBooks Desktop (PC or Mac) imports QBO files through File-Utilities-Import-Web Connect format.

QuickBooks Online imports QBO files as well and the QBO format is the best format it imports. QuickBooks online also imports OFX and QFX files (also a good choice to import). OFX and QFX formats are not importable by QuickBooks desktop.

QuickBooks desktop imports QBO (Web Connect) files into the Bank Feeds Center. Once the transactions are imported, you review them and match them to vendor records and assign expense/income account. After that, the transactions are added to the register.
