Hi Joe, I'm likely stepping way out of my reach here, but,
Gnucash will not import from IIF, but you might have success if you can convert your IIF file to a CSV file. Then you can import from that to GnuCash like you would if you had fetched a CSV file from your bank.
The 'transaction importer' is somewhat smart too that it can remember your associations...
That's me shooting from the hip, though. I left quickbooks a few years ago, and while the GnuCash transition was a bit of a brain bender at times, what a reward! Never looking back! Trying to web-enable gnucash even, love the software!
When I left quickbooks I did not pull anything across, so I'm no help there. As far as my transactions, I was able to import a bunch from my bank accounts, and the rest I just hand keyed, given it's just my tiny business, and plus that exercise helped me to become super familiar with the GnuCash interface, and how I wanted to set up accounts and all that.
I loaded my historical data back only a few years, to 2020, just so I could compare the most recent years... but, you can start from any date that makes sense to you.

I hadn't imported any Quickbook file to GNUCASH, but the "Welcome to GNUCASH" (splash page) wasn't showing up so I didn't know when to go to import the files. I eventually uninstalled the app and deleted the registry entry and the Welcome page is being displayed. [image: image.png] My intentions are to convert personal checking/credit card accounts from Quicken and business data from Quickbooks. Having all transactions make Year End Tax Reporting for the business easier. Any comparisons from previous to current year would be helpful. This would hold true for budgeting purposes for personal accounts, also. So the question remains - can I import the IIF files from Quickbooks and what files can be imported from Quicken? The first time I import my bank transactions, both business and personal, what date would these transactions start with?
