Hi there, mike. I'm here to share some details about this.
Are you referring to QuickBooks Desktop 2021? If so, the software will be discontinued after May 31, 2024. It includes all 2021 versions of QuickBooks Desktop Pro, QuickBooks Desktop Premier, QuickBooks Desktop for Mac, and QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions v21.
Once suspended, you won't have access to live technical support if you run into problems or any of the other Intuit services that can be integrated with QuickBooks Desktop. It includes QuickBooks Desktop Payroll, QuickBooks Desktop Payments, and online bank feeds. Discontinued versions won't receive the latest critical security patches and updates.
For more details about this, please see this article: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy.
If you're planning to switch to QuickBooks Online, you can upgrade to Essentials since it offers 3 billable users. You can check out this article to differentiate all the online versions: Learn about usage limits.
Before making any changes, please know that QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop are both powerful accounting software, but they have some differences. The desktop version is installed on a computer and is suitable for businesses needing advanced features. Online is cloud-based, accessible from anywhere, and offers similar features, but with some differences in functionality and user interface. Consider your business needs when choosing.
