QuickBooks Accountant Desktop 2021

I’d like to express my appreciation for taking the time to post in our QuickBooks Community forum, @Alex480.

Please note that upgrading your QuickBooks Desktop 2021 software will have an impact on your business's historical data. After May 31, 2024, all 2021 versions of QuickBooks Desktop Pro, QuickBooks Desktop Premier, QuickBooks Desktop for Mac, and QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions v21 will be discontinued, along with other Intuit products.

 If you choose not to upgrade your QuickBooks Desktop 2021 by May 31, 2024, you will no longer have access to live technical support, and you won't be able to integrate with any of the other Intuit services. This includes QuickBooks Desktop Payroll, QuickBooks Desktop Payments, and online bank feeds. Discontinued versions won't receive the latest critical security patches and updates. This also means you won't receive critical security updates protecting your data starting June 1, 2024.

Products affected by service discontinuation after May 31, 2024

• QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2021
• QuickBooks Desktop Premier 2021 (General Business, Contractor, Manufacturing & Wholesale, Nonprofit, Professional Services, and Retail)
• QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 21
• QuickBooks Premier Accountant Edition 2021
• QuickBooks Enterprise Accountant 21
• QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2021

I hope our conversation has been helpful. If you require any more support or have any questions about your QuickBooks Desktop upgrades, feel free to comment below anytime. Have a pleasant day!

If you don't use any add-ons (e.g QB Payroll, QB Payment), you can keep using 2021 for good.

The potential problem is the bank feed feature after May 2024. You can download .qbo files from your bank BUT you can't import directly into your QB Desktop. If your bank provides *.csv files, you will need to use a 3rd party tool to import it into QB Desktop. It's a $199 one time license and you can get $100 cashback to purchase the license from a partner.

QB Desktop 2024 Pro Plus starts from $650 for single user. You must call their sales team to purchase a new license. Another option, you can get it from selected partners and you can also get $100 cashback.

Hi - is this $650 per user/license just a one-time payment? is there a discount for multi-user?

I'm joining this thread to provide additional information about the sales and pricing of QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2024, Alex480.

To verify the actual price for one-time payment together with the discount for multi-user, I suggest contacting our sales team you can call them using the sales number found in this page: QuickBooks Enterprise. They have tools to check the most accurate and up-to-date information on pricing and discounts.

@Alex480 

How many user license do you need?

@GenmarieM 

First off, yes $650 is a one-time payment.

You must correct your information

We currently have 4 users. That said, we are thinking of still keeping an on-prem QB.

@Alex480 

QB Desktop 2024 Premier Plus for 4 user = $1,875

You should stay with QB Desktop 2021 (+ a 3rd party importer tool) as I suggested earlier if you don't run any add-ons.

The price is not that bad but yeah, looks like the stakeholders would like to keep the version for now. I am just getting all the infos/pricing until they want to move forward. Thank you!
