QuickBooks Tip: Converting data from other accounting programs to QuickBooks   You can convert data from accounting programs you may be currently using such as MAS 90, or Peachtree by exporting the data from your accounting program to a comma  or tab delimited file. Next that file is opened in Microsoft excel.  The excel data must be rearranged and then copied and pasted into a preset .iif file. A iif file is a intuit interchange format tab or comma delimited text file. This file contains special header fields and characters and all data is separated by commas. More

QuickBooks Tip: Timesaving tip for payroll With Intuit payroll service, your payroll and payroll tax payment data is automatically imported into the register of the payroll bank account in QuickBooks.
