What is a QIF file?

A QIF file is a specially formatted file used to export transactions from a Quicken account register. You can then import that data to a different Quicken account register. This text file MUST be formatted as a Quicken Interchange Format (QIF) file.

You export Quicken data to a QIF file by using the Export command on the File menu.

If you already have data in QIF format, you can import it into Quicken by using the Import command on the File menu.
