What’s new in QuickBooks Desktop 2024

by Intuit•125• Updated 1 week ago

Learn what’s new in QuickBooks Desktop 2024 and QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise 24.0.

We've revamped our release process so you no longer have to:

Wait for an annual release to get access to improvements and enhancements
Take time away from your business to install a new version-year on all your computers

Now, instead of an annual release, you'll get a message within QuickBooks Desktop to install the latest updates as soon as they're available. Simply accept the periodic in-product update notifications to make sure you have the latest feature and security updates.

Here are the features included in the QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise and how you can use them to benefit your business.

For your W-2s, starting in 2026, federal law requires you to report a Treasury Tipped Occupation Code (TTOC) in new Box 14b and qualified tip amounts in Box 12 under code TP. We've updated QuickBooks Desktop Payroll with the required occupation codes, support for employees who work in more than one tipped role, and a guided setup to help you get it right.

Release 19 (R19_28.1) 03/10/2026

PO number in Customer statements

Customers can view PO numbers directly on statements and match invoices faster. Your PO numbers create a clear trail that supports smooth reviews and strong records.

Invoice Profitability

Invoice Profitability improvement lets you view profit for each line. You can group data, use filters, see subtotals, and open any invoice with one click.

CEF migration from V109 to V136

V136 has new build tools and only supports Windows 10 and newer. Websites can now show faster 3D graphics. It can protect your privacy without old tracking cookies and keep cookies limited to one site so you aren’t followed around. This helps you run the program quicker thanks to a more efficient engine.

Release 18 (R18_34) 12/9/2025

Transaction improvement (QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise only)

Estimate Inactivation

Mark estimates as inactive when creating a sales order or non-progressing invoice from them. This streamlines workflows, reduces manual effort, and ensures clarity for your team by preventing outdated estimates from remaining active.

Release 16 (R16_34) 9/9/2025

Invoice Profitability Report (QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise only)

See the precise profit generated from every single transaction, not just the overall job. Easily find your most and least profitable invoices and services, so you know where to focus your efforts.

Email Enhancement

Set customer contacts as default email recipients for your transactions. Your last used email address is automatically saved as the default email recipient for that transaction.

Release 15 (R15_34) 5/20/2025

Email sales forms, invoices, and statements in QuickBooks Desktop

Quickly access and select the appropriate contact email directly from the transaction window, eliminating the need to manually look up email addresses.

Release 13 (R13) 2/25/2025

Item profitability report (QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise only)

You can now compare quantity sold, cost, sales price, and planned vs. actual markup and margin in one view.

Custom field improvements (QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise only)

You can now filter reports using text or dropdown lists. We've also improved the error handling for custom fields to prevent entering or filtering by invalid data. For example, entering a date in a number type custom field or filtering by a number in a date custom field.

System configuration settings

You can go to Help, select System Configuration, then select the appropriate option to adjust Windows system settings from within QuickBooks Desktop.

Search in reports

At the top right of any report, you'll see a Look for field. You can select this field and enter any text or number to find specific info in a report.
