To help you better understand how QIF Data Import changes might affect you please use the chart below. Find the Quicken version you use, then check to see if QIF Data Import is available for the type of account you use it for. For example, if you are using Quicken 2004 for Windows and downloading your checking account via QIF, you may continue using QIF Data Import for checking and all other account types.
