An IIF file has a header line that explains to QuickBooks what information it is going to be seeing next. All header lines begin with an exclamation point. This file contains the header lines needed to import to the chart of accounts, vendor list, and a Bill Payment Credit Card transaction. Some columns may not have anything in them and that is fine, however, the headers and columns need to be there for QuickBooks to be able to import it correctly. Just leave them blank if you do not have anything that goes in that field.
