I have QB Desktop 2021, which is being discontinued on May 31. I am shutting my business down at the end of April, so it doesn't make sense to switch to QB Online. I can't upgrade to QB 2024 because I don't have adequate processor speed. Will it be possible for me to download my QB file to a thumb drive and send it to my CPA for him to file my final tax return next March? Will he still be able to access QB 2021, or will the final be unreadable after May 31? Any advice or suggestions greatly appreciated!
Login to your CAMPS to check your license status. If you have QB Desktop 2021 with a non subscription license, you can use it for good.
