Your options are very limited. They temporarily discontinued their special pricing program for non-profit entities. If you are working solo on a desktop (PC or Mac) to manage your book and only need basic features, you should explore a free program. You can use the program for as long as you like, use all the features and enter as much data as required. There are no time limits, no usage limits, no ads (at this time). This program is quite popular in Asia and Europe.

We just paid $500 for Intuit QB Payroll Annual Fee.  So are you saying that we DO NOT have to pay the $800 in May 2023 for a software update?  You state:

"You can stay with QuickBooks Premier Plus 2022. This system has a 3-year life cycle. Just make sure to upgrade it once we discontinue the version."

If we can stay with what we currently have with no upgrade (I hope this is correct) how can we stop your automatic process to bill our credit card for this upgrade in May 2023?

We want to stay with our current version of QBs and DO NOT want any automatic upgrades.  Do NOT automatically bill us for any upgrades.  Can you please confirm that you will not automatically bill us for future upgrades until we request them?

You are using QB Desktop Premier Plus. 

Plus = Annual subscription. You have to renew annually to use it.

Welcome back to the Community.

Let me share further insights about the subscription and software upgrade for QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), so you can manage your account accordingly.

QuickBooks Premier Plus 2022 is a subscription-based edition. You can stay with your current version of QBDT and disregard the software upgrades (if prompted) since QBDT 2022 is still supported. However, you'd need to renew your annual subscription to continue utilizing the software and add-on services, like payroll.

Moreover, you can manage your QBDT account and services with the Customer Account Maintenance Portal (CAMPs). If you wish to learn more about this, please see this article: Manage your QuickBooks Desktop subscriptions and services.
