Hi

Does anyone know what Intuit mean when they say they are discontinuing Desktop, are they removing the whole package or just stopping support?

In previous years I continued to use versions of Quickbooks desktop without support and had no problems in keeping it up to date with help from our accountant when regulations changed.

If the whole package is disappearing does anyone know of a straight replacement for desktop as the online version is rubbish by comparison and does not have the functionality I need.

Maybe they will sell it to a third party?

Hello Peter3605,

Welcome to the Community page,

So to answer your first question Quickbooks desktop is being discontinued as in the whole package is being removed and will not be supported at all, you will not be able to use it come end of January 2023.

So you will not be able to use Quickbooks desktop at all as there will be no access to it come end of January 2023. So you will need to export your data out of it and save it to your pc and move to either Quickbooks online or a different software account.

There will be no third party selling it either im afraid

Why couldn't users continue to use the software after January 2023. The program and database are held locally. Granted, there will be no support. Unless there is a time bomb written into the software?

will i be able to use the software after June 1st to run invoices etc? or will access to it completely stop.

Hi Oborne27, thanks for joining the Community! Access to all subscribed UK Desktop products will no longer be possible after the 30 June 2023; we're encouraging users to migrate to QuickBooks Online or an alternate software provider prior to this date. We're also releasing a Data Export Only tool that can be used to display your data for compliance purposes, and will be available to use for seven years. This is expected to be released before the end of March, and we'll be sending further updates on how to access this via email. In regards to other versions we'd advice looking at the bottom of this article at the FAQ under this header, 'will i still be able to access Quickbooks Desktop after 30th June 2023?'.

If you don't need to comply with MTD regulation and you are still using QBD 2020 or older versions, consider to purchase a one time license for QBD UK 2019 or 2020. Otherwise, you can migrate your data to QBD 2021 US version with the one time license.
