HOW TO IMPORT AN IIF FILE INTO YOUR QUICKBOOKS
DATA FILE?

• This is a great way for QuickBooks Desktop users
  who have resisted moving to QuickBooks Online
  because of lack of support for IIF file imports
  to make the move and avoid the unnecessary data
  entry burden.
• To import iif file into QuickBooks Desktop has
  been around almost as long QuickBooks and is
  widely used as a way to get transaction and list
  data into QuickBooks. It has come as a surprise
  to many that Intuit does not support the IIF file
  format for QuickBooks Online and has no plans to
  add that either. Intuit does not promote IIF and
  even on its official support page warns users
  that creating .iif files from scratch or
  adapting data from another program is technically
  complex and may be difficult if you dont have
  experience formatting delimited text files.. .
• The format and structure of the IIF file is the
  key. If you don't have the correct format, you
  can never get through the import Quickbooks
  process because of errors. That's why, you have
  to familiar yourself of this format.
