newest version of quickbooks

I understand what you feel, @PAT0511.

Let me provide you with some insights about this discontinuation policy in QuickBooks Desktop for the 2021 version.

You won't have access to live technical assistance or any other Intuit services that can be connected with QuickBooks Desktop if you don't upgrade your QuickBooks Desktop 2021 before May 31, 2024. Thus, we recommend switching to QuickBooks Online so you won't have interruptions and keep getting security updates and features.

Since Scan Manager isn't compatible with QBDT 2022 or newer versions, you'll want to consider using a third-party app to find applications that fit your needs. I'll show you how:

1. Visit this site https://desktop.apps.com/home.
2. From the search tab, enter and look for an app.
3. Select the app in the list.

Keep in touch if you need any more assistance with managing subscriptions or if there's something else I can do for you. I've got your back. Have a good day.

I was told a lie!!!!! I was told that my scanner would work with the Quickbooks 2024!!! He guaranteed it would work! What a disappointment this is! I spent close to $2000.00 for this!!! Tell me what am I suppose to do!!! What do you mean by getting a third party for this?  I pay for Quickbooks, now I have to pay for a third party in order for me to use my scanner when I do my billing!! I don't even know how to do that!!!!

I understand how frustrating and disappointing this situation must be for you, @PAT0511. I can see why you would feel let down and uncertain about what to do next. Allow me to elaborate and clarify things for you.

Given that your QuickBooks Desktop version is outdated, it's essential to upgrade to a newer version. Nevertheless, it's important to note that the Scan Manager feature isn't compatible with QuickBooks Desktop 2022 and newer versions. Therefore, even after upgrading, you won't be able to use this feature. Since this functionality is crucial for your business, you may want to consider exploring third-party applications as an alternative solution.

You may have 3 following options

1. Purchase QB Desktop 2024 to upgrade your version and keep using the payroll module. The downside is the scanner issue.

2. Keep using QB Desktop 2021 and use a 3rd party payroll app. You will register payroll expenses as JE manually.

3. Switch to an ERP program completely to use payroll and scanner.

What is an ERP version

ERP = NetSuite, Acumatica

You can purchase a 3rd party service to convert data from QB
