Will QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac 2019 be compatible with the Mac OS version Monterey?

Hello,  Do you know if Quickbooks 2020 for desktop is compatible with Monterey?  I cannot find anything about this.  Last year, it needed an update that wasn't released by intuit until 2 months after Big Sur was released.  Thank you

yes, can we have an answer about 2020?

Thanks for following this thread, @mikeinaustin62. As mentioned by my peer DivinaMercy_N, the Mac OS version Monterey is only compatible with QBDT for Mac 2021. 

Here's the link to the minimum system requirements and its software compatibility for Mac: System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2020.

Let me know if you need anything else in QuickBooks. I'll always be there at your service. 

Hi

I am currently running OS Catalina and using QB for Mac Desktop 2019. I plan on installing the new OS
Monterey and then purchasing QB 2021 for MAC DT.  Would you recommend installing 2021 QB for Mac DT and then upgrading my OS to Monterey, or the other way around?

Thanks for following this thread, VMarina.

Thank you. Will my current QB 2019 for Mac also work with OS 12 Monterey?

I understand 2022 QBDT is for sale.  Why are you suggesting I update to 2021 instead?

Welcome back to the Community, VMarina.

For now, QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2019 is only compatible with the following operating systems:

• macOS 10.12 (Sierra)
• macOS 10.13 (High Sierra)
• macOS 10.14 (Mojave)

Since OS Monterey is not specifically stated as a supported operating system (OS) on the support page, it means that we haven't tested the software with the new OS yet. I suggest checking the support page from time to time to see the latest news about the compatibility requirements. Rest assured we'll update it once we get a confirmation that QBDT Mac for 2019 works with OS Monterey.

To ensure you can perform any tasks efficiently in the program, I’m adding a link to our self-help articles: QBDT Mac. It contains topics such as banking, taxes, payroll, account management, etc.

Feel free to visit the Community again if you have any clarifications about running QuickBooks Desktop for Mac. I’m always ready to help and make sure you’re taken care of.

I’d like to know this too…better to upgrade to 2021 or 2022 plus?

Thank you so much! My two-part question is similar. I am considering upgrading to QuickBooks Mac Plus 2022. Does QuickBooks Mac Plus 2022 run on M1 Macs? Does QuickBooks Mac Plus 2022 run on MacOS Monterey? Thank you!

Thank you for the answer: "Yes, QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac 2022 is compatible with the Mac OS version Monterey."

To clarify, when you refer to "QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac 2022," is that the same as QuickBooks Mac Plus 2022? Will QuickBooks Mac Plus 2022 run on macOS Monterey?

Thank you!!!

Joining the thread to help with your question about QuickBooks versions, simplequestionsimpleanswerplease.

Yes, QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac 2022 and QuickBooks Mac Plus 2022 is the same version. They have the same system requirements, interface, and features.

Thank you so, so much, JenoP! I'm staring to get a better understanding of the different versions, "QuickBooks Mac Plus 2022" and "QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac 2022."

https://quickbooks.intuit.com/desktop/mac/

But I cannot find the website that will allow me to purchase QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac 2022. 

Will you please let me know what web page I can go to when checking price and purchase information for the QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac 2022 version.

Hello simplequestionsimpleanswerplease,

Welcome back to the thread! I am appreciative that my colleague was able to help you better understand the differences. However, QuickBooks Desktop has updated its entire product lineup, and for 2022 versions, they will now only be selling the Mac product as a Mac Plus subscription hence why you couldn't find a website for QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac 2022. 

I advise reaching out to our Sales Department at 1 (855)352-2683 to see if there is a possibility of getting a different version if you prefer that route. Their hours of operation are Monday to Friday from 5 am-6 pm PST and Saturday to Sunday from 7 am-4 pm PST.  

Please let us know if you have additional questions or concerns. My team and I will love to help! Until then, I hope you have a fantastic day. 

Could you please also post a link to QB for Mac 2021 desktop?

It sounds like 2022 is only as a subscription is that correct? If so,

why is there a QBDT 2022 (not plus) that is not available?

Victoria

Hi there, @VMarina. 

Thanks for following the thread. I hope you're enjoying the day so far. 

For now, the 2022 version of QuickBooks Desktop for Mac will only be selling as a Mac Plus subscription. You can use the guided steps that my colleagues have provided above to contact the Sales Team to learn more information about pricing, etc. 

You can use the link that I've included below to download and install the Mac 2021 version.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Take care and have a wonderful day! 

@VMarina @simplequestionsimpleanswerplease 

They only offer QBD 2022 Mac with a subscription license = QBD 2022 Mac Plus. You can still purchase a one time license of QBD Mac 2019-2021 thru specific partners. Contact us in private for assistance.

So, I followed the Instructions to download 2021 and my computer upgraded my QB 2019

files. Then I tried to purchase the license and could not! I called your sales and they said I have

to buy 2022! So I did, they said it would work on OS 10.15 and it did not! Now I a, downloading 

the new Mac OS Monterey and it is stuck. I am very upset! I followed the advice here and

now don’t have access to my business data on QB.
