Menu labels and support vary by app, OS and version. Preserve the original before making changes.

Troubleshooting by symptom

  • Institution verification fails: check official Web Connect support.
  • Wrong QIF export: obtain the supported QFX download.
  • Duplicate account: review linking choices.
  • Duplicate transactions: inspect date overlap and previous imports.

QFX → Quicken transaction import

  1. Import through the supported route and export required reports separately.
  2. Reopen the output and check it against the preservation points in this guide before handoff.

Renaming QBO/OFX does not change institutional acceptance.
