Cancel your QuickBooks subscription

The steps for cancelling QuickBooks 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 subscription.

  1. Open a web browser on your computer, not a mobile device.
  2. Sign in to QuickBooks as an admin user.
  3. Go to Settings ⚙ and select Subscriptions and billing.
  4. Note: If you don't see the Subscriptions and billing tab, then you bought QuickBooks through a mobile app store. See the steps for your device below.
  5. In the QuickBooks section, select Cancel subscription or Cancel online. If you're cancelling a trial, select Cancel trial.
    Note: For QuickBooks Sole Trader, select Cancel.
  6. Follow the on-screen steps.

Cancel an account purchased online, directly from Intuit

You may follow the official steps to cancel a subscription from Apple.

You may follow the official steps to cancel a subscription from Google.

Note: You cannot cancel subscriptions purchased through the Google Play Store on the QuickBooks mobile app.

Cancel a suspended subscription

If your subscription is suspended, you need to resubscribe and reactivate it before you can cancel. We'll also automatically cancel your subscription after three failed attempts to charge your payment method.

Learn what happens to your data after you cancel
