Yes, Now, add on support for the U.S. where you have Federal rules, State rules, even some City rules, and then those rules vary by industry, filing status, income level, type of entity making the payment, and so on. The monster just keeps growing. Intuit must have a small army working round

Thanks for the heads up, David. My plan is to create and rename a copy of the qif file, and isolate the process from Quicken. I tend to keep clean records, but if as you say, quicken allowed for variability, I could have some entries that might create problems. Plus the fact that I'm something

The developers cannot guarantee anything. Many users have had good results, but many of us needed to run tests with about a month's data at a time mostly because Quicken allowed sloppy records that do not import very well. If that is your situation you might be better served to manipulate

RE David's comment: "As far as I know, qdf files have no conversion options. Period. You will have to export qif from quicken." Older versions of Quicken used qdf. Newer versions use gif. In order to translate gdf to qif, you need to use an intermediate version of Quicken to import into.
