If you go to Tools > QIF Profile editor, select Default, then Date.  You 
should see a whole bunch of option, including the one you need.

If you want to keep that as your default, just click OK.  Otherwise, to 
make a new filter, first select New, enter a new name the select the 
date format as above.  Then click OK.  When importing, make sure you 
select that new filter.

What's the problem with CSV?
