Which QBD year version do you have? Running on Win 8.1 or 10?

I am running QB 2020 on Windows 10.
I am an administrator on all 4 company files.

i want to cancel my subscription to QB online.

Hello Fisk Ranch!

Thanks for reaching out to us. I can show you how to cancel your subscription.

It makes me sad to see users canceling their subscriptions. You'll want to upgrade or downgrade your QuickBooks Online subscription instead depending on your needs.

Also, here are the steps on how to cancel the subscription:

1. Go to the Gear icon and then Account and settings.
2. From the Billing & Subscription tab, select Cancel subscription or Cancel online.
3. Follow the onscreen steps.

In addition, you can still access the data in QuickBooks Online for a year if you need them for reporting. I suggest you export them and save them on your local drive for future use. Please check these articles for more details:

• Export your reports to Excel from QuickBooks Online

• Export reports, lists, and other data from QuickBooks Online

I'd be glad to help you if you have other concerns. Have a great day!
