Common IIF File Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing OFX/QFX/QBO Bank Transactions data to IIF File - and how we solve them

Account Not Found

QuickBooks can't find the specified account name

Account 'Bank Account' not in Chart of Accounts
Create the account first or use exact name

Verify account names match your Chart of Accounts exactly

Edit account names in the tool options before converting

Transaction Doesn't Balance

IIF requires AMOUNT sum to equal zero per transaction

TRNS: 100, SPL: -90 (doesn't balance)
TRNS: 100, SPL: -100 (balances to zero)

We ensure each transaction balances correctly

All amounts are validated before export
