Converting from QuickBooks to Quicken
Quicken cannot convert QuickBooks data because QuickBooks data files contain many elements for which Quicken has no support mechanism.

You can, however, convert Quicken data files (except Investment Accounts) automatically to the same or higher version of QuickBooks. This is a one-way conversion, however; once Quicken data has been converted to QuickBooks, it cannot be restored in Quicken.

For more Quicken/QuickBooks conversion information, please visit the QuickBooks Support site.

Converting files from other (non-Intuit) financial programs into Quicken
Quicken uses the Quicken Interchange Format (QIF) to import and export data. This allows conversion of data files from both Intuit and non-Intuit financial programs. Data from any financial program that can export a QIF file can be converted to the Quicken program. For more information please refer to this website:

Quicken 2005 for Mac
