From Intuit:
"Intuit Interchange Format (.IIF) files are ASCII text, TSV (Tab-Separated Value) files that QuickBooks Desktop uses to import or export lists or transactions"

source: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/manage-lists/iif-overview-import-kit-sample-files-and-headers/00/201577

So this could very well work, but I can't test it:
Export from QB as IIF.
Open IIF in a spreadsheet
Save as a COMMA separated value file- that is, CSV ...
   ... instead of Intuit's TAB separated IIF file
Then in GnuCash: File> Import> Import Txn's from CSV

Hope it helps.

FWIW ... IMHO ... Intuit seems to have a track record of aggressively, even unethically, hiding technical pathways, or anything, which might help people do something which costs Intuit revenue. As contrasted with building a product which offers real value for money. IMHO.

I have been in contact with QuickBooks and they tell me that they only
export IIF formatted files. As I look in GnuCash, I do not find where it
will import the IIF files. Is there something that I am doing wrong or is
there a work around to import my files from QuickBooks?

I really need your help here.

Please advise me as to a good plan of attack?

Thank you very much for help in this matter, and look forward to hearing
from you.
