Cancel your QuickBooks Online subscription
The steps for cancelling QuickBooks Online depend on where you signed up for your subscription. If you signed up through a mobile app store, you’ll need to go to your app store to cancel.
Follow the steps below based on where you bought your QuickBooks Online subscription.
Cancel an account purchased online, directly from Intuit

- Select Products & billing, then select your company name. This will take you to your subscription page.
- Find the product you wish to cancel, then select Cancel.
- You’ll see a multiple choice survey on why you're cancelling your subscription. Once you’ve filled it out, select Continue to cancel.
- You’ll see a page that details product benefits, and the last day you'll be able to use your subscription. Select Continue to cancel.
- You’ll see a pop-up confirming your subscription is cancelled. Select Got it.
Note: If you are within the billing period you last paid for, you will be able to resume your subscription and stay on the same billing by selecting Resume subscription. If you are outside of the billing period, you will have to go to the web to resubscribe.

Cancel a QuickBooks Online Accountant subscription
As of now, QuickBooks Online Accountant is a free program and unfortunately, there is no option to cancel it at this time.
Learn what happens to your data after you cancel
For paid and trial subscriptions, we hang on to your data for one year. This lets you pick up where you left off if you decide to come back. We delete the data after that. During that year, the account is in read-only mode, allowing you to review, export, and print data, but you won't be able to make changes to your books. When you sign in to the Company Selection page, you can view the expired files under Cancelled Companies.
