Hello rfinercpa!
I'd like to share some details and assist you in importing the QBJ file.
Please note that QuickBooks Desktop won't let you create accounts with exactly the same name. The most possible reason why it creates duplicates is that you used the description or account number on your QBJ file instead of the account name.
I suggest you review the QBJ file and update it if needed before importing it. For now, you'll want to delete the duplicate ones. Simply go to the Chart of Accounts, right-click the duplicate, select the Account is inactive checkbox, then Save.
I also added these articles for more details on how to import journal entries and how to manage your accounts in QuickBooks Desktop:
Keep on posting here if you need further help from me. Leave a comment below and we'll reply as soon as possible.
