Practical guidance for finance-file import failures in QuickBooks, Quicken, Xero, and similar accounting tools.

Check a file Developer API

Common problems

• The file is not really OFX-family content. Some exports are CSV, HTML, or PDF even when the filename looks financial.
• Required header fields are missing. Older OFX SGML imports often need fields such as OFXHEADER, DATA, VERSION, and ENCODING.
• Dates or amounts are malformed. Accounting importers can reject timestamps or currency values that look readable but are not in the expected OFX form.
• Transaction IDs collide. Duplicate FITID values can create skipped transactions or import failures.
• The destination app expects a marker. QFX and QBO workflows often depend on institution fields such as INTU.BID.
