Important Information Regarding QuickBooks Desktop

We recently received an update from Intuit QuickBooks regarding their Desktop product that may impact you or your business. After July 31, 2024, Intuit will no longer sell new subscriptions of the following Desktop products in the U.S.:

  • QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus
  • QuickBooks Desktop Premier Plus
  • QuickBooks Desktop Mac Plus
  • QuickBooks Desktop Enhanced Payroll

In this recent update, Intuit QuickBooks shared this information on what is NOT changing:

  • Existing Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, Mac Plus, and Enhanced Payroll subscribers can continue to renew their subscriptions after July 31, 2024. They will continue to provide security updates, product updates, and support for existing subscribers.
  • All QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise subscriptions (Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond) will remain available for new subscribers after July 31, 2024. Enterprise Gold, Platinum, and Diamond include integrated payroll.

If you wish to use or continue to use the Desktop version of QuickBooks, here are some recommendations:

  • If you use a non-subscription version of QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier, or Mac and wish to remain on Desktop, Intuit recommends purchasing a QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Mac Plus subscription before July 31, 2024.
  • If you have Pro Plus or Premier Plus and have been considering Desktop Payroll, Intuit recommends the purchase of a QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll subscription before July 31, 2024, or upgrade to QuickBooks Enterprise Gold, Platinum, or Diamond, which includes integrated payroll and can be purchased after July 31, 2024.
  • Intuit advises all QuickBooks Desktop clients to upgrade to the latest software version by July 31, 2024. QuickBooks Desktop 2024 includes the latest features and security updates.
