If you want to import transactions into an expired Quicken Windows file, you can: 1 Create the headers for a downloaded.qif file as listed in a post below (which I would find tedious, even if you cut and paste) and then import that.qif file into Quicken. This works if your bank lets you download a.qif file, which most don't anymore. QIF format is a great format supporting categories and tags. Quicken was discouraging the QIF format until 2018, but still, all Windows versions import it fine (since Quicken 2018, QIF file is 'officially' supported). Quicken 2005-2017 for Windows has to be at least Deluxe version to import QIF files directly into bank or credit card accounts. Quicken 2019 editions are now an annual subscription. Quicken released its latest version, which is available in four subscription levels: Starter, Deluxe, Premier and Home & Business. More importantly, Quicken is now an annual subscription. With the older versions, you had a three-year sunset before you were forced to upgrade.
