IIF is a tab-delimited text format developed by Intuit for importing data into QuickBooks Desktop. Unlike QBO files which are designed for bank feeds, IIF files can import virtually any type of data including transactions, customers, vendors, items, and accounts. This makes IIF particularly valuable for batch imports, data migration, and integration with external systems. The format uses a header-based structure that QuickBooks interprets to determine the type and destination of each data record.

When to Choose IIF for Wells Fargo

Choose IIF when you need to import transactions directly into QuickBooks registers (bypassing the Bank Feeds review process), when migrating data from other systems, or when you need to import non-transaction data like customer lists or chart of accounts.

For transaction imports, records will appear directly in the specified account register - there is no review step as with QBO imports. Always backup your company file before importing IIF files, as the import cannot be easily undone.
