Payroll Mate payroll software<\/a> allows users to export payroll checks into a QIF file which can later be imported into Quicken or any other accounting software that offers QIF file import functionality. This feature is useful for Quicken users who would like to track payroll checks inside Quicken. This feature is also useful for the discontinued Quickpayroll users, who recently moved to Payroll Mate.<\/p>\n

The process of exporting payroll checks from Payroll Mate to Quicken involves three main steps:<\/p>\n

1- The first step is to generate the QIF file in Payroll Mate by running the \u201cExport Payroll to Quicken QIF\u201d report.<\/p>\n

2- The second step is to create an account in Quicken.<\/p>\n

3- The third step is to import the QIF file exported from Payroll Mate into the account created in Quicken.<\/p>\n

Step One: Generating a QIF file inside Payroll Mate<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(1) Inside Payroll Mate: Open the \u201cExport Payroll to Quicken QIF\u201d report by clicking on the menu item:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>(3) <\/em>Select the desired options inside the \u201cExport Options\u201d dialog.\u00a0 Start by selecting the range of pay dates for the checks to be included in the export.

(4) Click on \u201cExport\u201d button inside the \u201cExport Payroll to Quicken QIF\u201d report. In the dialog that comes up select the path of the QIF resulting file and then hit “Save” .
