Since you already have QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), you can manually import your data to Quicken using Excel, stromm. Allow me to walk you through the process.
Start by exporting your Chart of Accounts (COA) and Vendor List. To export to IIF, here's how:
- Select Utilities, Export, and then Lists to IIF Files from the File menu.
- Mark Chart of Accounts and Vendor List, then select OK.
- On the Export window from the Save in drop-down, choose the location where you want to save the IIF file (often, this will be your Desktop).
- In the File name field, delete the asterisk (*), then enter a file name.
- Select Save, then OK.
Afterward, export to Excel.
- Select Vendor Center from the Vendors menu,
- From the Excel drop-down, choose Export Vendor List.
- On the Export window, select Create new worksheet: in a new workbook, then choose Export.
- Save the Excel sheet.
Once you're done, export your information from Quicken into a .QIF format. For Quicken Home & Business, you can export/import the address book from Quicken in the .QIF format. For the step-by-step guide, please see this article: Convert from QuickBooks Desktop to Quicken.
