New 401(k) doesn’t even support QIF
The 401(k) program we switched to this year happens to have been a step backward as far as support for exporting transactions. In talking with Alan about it, he said he’d downloaded a program to convert the CSV they export into a QIF. In looking at the QIF format, I just decided to whip up something to do the conversion for me. This converts the export from MVP Plan Administrators to QIF and imports successfully into Quicken for Mac 2007.

Known issues:
- You still need to go through and mark Dividend transactions as such.
- Doesn’t handle Sells very well, especially when these are to cover fund fees
