Can I convert QuickBooks to Quicken?

Hi,

 

I’m using the 30 day trial version of QB Desktop for Mac which must be the most current year. The converted Mac data file came from our QB for PC Desktop, 2022 with a subscription.

You have QB Desktop 2022 Pro/Premier with a subscription license, correct?

You have to manually convert data from QB to Quicken. Another option, use the trial version of QB Desktop 2022 to access your historical data. Then you'll start with new data in Quicken.

Can I convert QuickBooks to Quicken?

I appreciate the efforts you've taken to convert your QuickBooks Desktop to Quicken, @mrc88dal.

 

Basically, the step you've mentioned summarizes the process stated in Step 2. In this case, you'll need to open the .IIF file you've exported from QBDT and open it in Excel. I can guide you on how to perform this successfully.

 

  1. Export your QuickBooks Desktop Chart of Accounts and Vendor List to IIF files
  2. Open the .IIF files in Microsoft Excel.
  3. Go to Files, then select Export, then choose .QIF file to convert it into QIF format.

 

Alternatively, you can also consider following @Fiat Lux - ASIA suggestion to convert your data.

 

Also, you can check this article to know more about IIF: IIF Overview: import kit, sample files, and headers.

 

Please don't hesitate to get back to this thread if you have further questions about exporting your information from QBDT to Quicken. We'll be glad to assist you.

Can I convert QuickBooks to Quicken?

While there isn't a direct way to transfer data from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to Quicken, 1plus1bookkeeping, I have some alternatives we can explore. Let me elaborate on this below.

 

Currently, we can only convert Quicken data to QBO. However, there are ways to transfer QBO data to Quicken. One effective method is to export your data from QBO manually. I’ll provide a step-by-step guide to assist you through this process:

 

  1. Locate the Gear icon and choose Export data.

  2. On the Reports tab, set the date range.
  3. Add or remove items from the Reports and Lists tabs by turning the switch on or off.
  4. Click Export to Excel.

For more information, refer to this article: Export your QuickBooks Online data.

 

After successfully exporting and saving your data, the next step is to contact Quicken Support. Their experts can provide comprehensive guidance and assistance in importing your data into Quicken, ensuring a smooth and accurate transition.

 

The second option to convert your data from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to Quicken is to utilize a third-party application designed to streamline this process. This option can help automate the data transfer, minimizing the risk of errors and saving significant time. You can visit the QuickBooks App Store or navigate the Apps menu on your QBO account to find the application suitable for your business needs.

You can also explore the app's Reviews section for valuable customer feedback. Reading these reviews will help you understand other users' experiences, the app's strengths and weaknesses, and its suitability for your business needs, aiding you in making an informed decision.

The best option is to convert your client data to QB Desktop file format and use the old QB Desktop with a non-subscription license to access their historical data for good. Then start creating a new file in Quicken from scratch.
