Why QuickBooks Desktop Users Need a Different Approach

IIF Format Requirements

QuickBooks Desktop (Pro, Premier, Enterprise) doesn't accept CSV journal entries. It requires IIF (Intuit Interchange Format)—a tab-delimited text file with specific header rows and transaction structure. Our tool generates properly formatted IIF files that import directly through File → Utilities → Import → IIF Files.

Desktop-Specific Considerations

- Must be in single-user mode during import - Admin login required - All accounts must exist in Chart of Accounts before import - ASCII encoding only (special characters replaced) - General Journal entry type for balanced fee breakdown

Common IIF File Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Settlement Report V2 data to IIF File - and how we solve them

Account Not Found

QuickBooks Desktop requires exact account name matches

Amazon Referral Fees (not in Chart)
Amazon Fees (exists in Chart of Accounts)

Configure account names to match your QuickBooks Desktop setup

Update account mappings in settings before import

Journal Entry Unbalanced

IIF journals require debits = credits

Debits: $5000, Credits: $4999
Debits: $5000, Credits: $5000

Rounding discrepancy line added automatically

No, IIF is Desktop-only. For QuickBooks Online, use our CSV tool at /import/amazon-quickbooks instead.
General Journal. This allows proper debit/credit entries for fee breakdown and balances perfectly for bank reconciliation.
