is QuickBooks Desktop 2022 software going to be discontinued

A pleasant day to you, @JIBIT.

To answer your question. Yes, the same as the QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2021 the 2022 version will also be discontinued after May 31, 2025. This includes all versions of Pro, Premier, Mac, and Enterprise solutions. 

If you won't upgrade to a higher version on or before May 31, 2025, access to live technical support will be cut off, and you won't receive the latest critical security patches and updates. 

Check out this article for more info: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy.

If you wish to upgrade to a higher version of QBDT, you can read this article: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Enterprise.

Additionally, I'll add this article so your QBDT has the latest features and improvements: Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release.

I'm glad to have you here. Don't forget to reply if you have additional queries about the QBDT discontinuation policy. Have a good day.

Don't worry. They will support QB Desktop 2022 until 2025. You can pay the renewal fee this year via a partner to get $100 cashback if required.

hi-thx for your reply-is there anyway to extend qb 2021 to 2025-that is what i have, but am considering the 2022 version as an alternative to this problem -i am retiring and do not need to buy a new 2024 edition.

Thanks for the follow-up response, @JIBIT. 

After May 31, 2024, your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2021 software will be discontinued. Currently, we're unable to extend support to 2025 since the program has a three-year lifespan.

Each year, Intuit introduces a new QBDT version, featuring updates and enhancements. If your computer's operating system is compatible with QBDT 2021, you can continue using it. However, certain functionalities like payroll and online banking will cease, and there will be no further system updates or technical support available.

You can learn more by reading this article: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy.

Why do you have to use 2022 version? By default you must purchase QB Desktop 2024 Pro Plus or Premier Plus. You must call their sales team by phone to purchase it. Another option, you can email @Fiat Lux - ASIA for assistance + you can get $100 cashback.

I appreciate your prompt response in the Community forum, @JIBIT.

Just to clarify, the QuickBooks Desktop 2022 version is no longer available for purchase in 2024, as QuickBooks only offers the current year's version each year.

Also, as mentioned by my colleague, JaeAnnC, you can still access your company files after May 2024 in your QuickBooks Desktop 2021 version for recording purposes. However, features that require Internet access, such as payroll, online banking, and software updates will no longer be available.
