A pleasant day to you, @JIBIT.

To answer your question. Yes, the same as the QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2021 the 2022 version will also be discontinued after May 31, 2025. This includes all versions of Pro, Premier, Mac, and Enterprise solutions.

If you won't upgrade to a higher version on or before May 31, 2025, access to live technical support will be cut off, and you won't receive the latest critical security patches and updates.

Check out this article for more info: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy.

If you wish to upgrade to a higher version of QBDT, you can read this article: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Enterprise.

Additionally, I'll add this article so your QBDT has the latest features and improvements: Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release.

I'm glad to have you here. Don't forget to reply if you have additional queries about the QBDT discontinuation policy. Have a good day.

Don't worry. They will support QB Desktop 2022 until 2025. You can pay the renewal fee this year via a partner to get $100 cashback if required.

Thanks for the follow-up response, @JIBIT.

After May 31, 2024, your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2021 software will be discontinued. Currently, we're unable to extend support to 2025 since the program has a three-year lifespan.

Each year, Intuit introduces a new QBDT version, featuring updates and enhancements. If your computer's operating system is compatible with QBDT 2021, you can continue using it. However, certain functionalities like payroll and online banking will cease, and there will be no further system updates or technical support available.

You can learn more by reading this article: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy.

To transition to QBDT 2022, you can use this reference as your guide: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Enterprise.

Furthermore, we've provided an article highlighting the features in the QBDT 2022 release and how you can utilize them to benefit your business: What’s new in QuickBooks Desktop 2022.

Fill me in if you have any clarifications about the QBDT 2021 discontinuation. We'll ensure to respond promptly to keep you informed. Wishing you a safe and productive day ahead!

Make sure you upgrade your version to QB Desktop 2023 or 2024 before June to continue working with your Enhanced Payroll subscription.

I appreciate your interest in upgrading your QuickBooks Desktop version before the discontinuation date, tc20191. This decision is crucial as it ensures you continue to receive payroll updates, critical security patches, and technical support.

I agree with Chrea's recommendation to upgrade your version before the discontinuation date, as this helps maintain uninterrupted access to essential features.

Upgrading your QuickBooks Desktop version does not automatically renew your payroll subscription. However, you can easily activate this on your upgraded software version to continue using it without interruption.

Here's how to activate your payroll service once you have upgraded:

Head to the Employees menu, then click My Payroll Service.
Select Activate Service Key and hit Add to input your service key.
Once you've entered it, click Next.
When the Payroll Update prompt appears, select OK.
Check if the service status shows ACTIVE and then hit OK.

Moreover, you can generate comprehensive payroll reports and back up your company file in the future to keep your business data or information organized.

Activating your payroll subscription on the upgraded software allows you to continue managing your payroll as before. Should you encounter any challenges or require further assistance during this process, we are here to help.
