Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of presentation: The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, included in QCR Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2014. Accordingly, footnote disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements, have been omitted.

The financial information of the Company included herein has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Any differences appearing between the numbers presented in financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis are due to rounding. The results of the interim period ended March 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries which include three commercial banks: Quad City Bank & Trust Company (“QCBT”), Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust Company (“CRBT”), and Rockford Bank & Trust Company (“RB&T”). On May 13, 2013, the Company acquired Community National Bancorporation (“Community National”) and its banking subsidiary Community National Bank (“CNB”). The Company operated CNB as a separate banking charter from the acquisition date until October 26, 2013, when CNB’s charter was merged with and into CRBT. CNB“s merged branch offices operate as a division of CRBT under the name of “Community Bank & Trust”. QCBT, CRBT, and RB&T are all state-chartered commercial banks. The Company also engages in direct financing lease contracts through m2 Lease Funds, LLC (“m2 Lease Funds”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of QCBT. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent accounting developments: In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The objective of ASU 2014-04 is to reduce diversity by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU 2014-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-04 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified, with no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity, to conform with the current period presentation.
