Cancel a QuickBooks Online Accountant subscription

As of now, QuickBooks Online Accountant is a free program and unfortunately, there is no option to cancel it at this time.

Learn what happens to your data after you cancel

If you have one QuickBooks Online account and cancel it, you have read-only access to your data for one year. After that, you have to resubscribe to access the data.

If you have multiple QuickBooks Online accounts, at least one account with the same login should remain active to have read-only access indefinitely.
