Quickbooks desktop MAC and Monterey?

@billhdz 

 

I tried switching over to Wave last year (I've been tired of QB for awhile). However, transferring all my existing outstanding invoices over was impossible. I would basically have to re-create each one. I'm also a little leery of free services. Nothing's truly free.

Let me share the system requirements for QuickBooks for Mac 2020, Jfreedy.

 

For now, the 2020 version supports at least macOS 10.14 (Mohave). We're unable to provide any specific details regarding QuickBooks for Mac 2019 and macOS 12 Monterey compatibility.

@Kristine Mae  I know it supports MacOS 11.6 as well. I'm using it with QB Mac 2020.

@Kristine Mae , FYI that "what's new" link only refers to QB 2021. Not really helpful for this thread.

That's not correct Kristine, there was an update issued today to include 2019 desktop for Mac.

@jfreedy ‘

if the 2019 version got updated, I imaging that the 2020 version of QB will be available soon to work with Monterey.

 

Best wishes!

I know I waited awhile to get Desktop 2020 for Mac updated to use Big Sur.  Now I am waiting to update to Monterey.  I don't dare update as I have had my Quickbooks "broken" by an update in the past, and that was Windows!  Please hurry with an update for Desktop for Mac 2020 so I can update my OS to Monterey, which is waiting on my computer.

Help has arrived, @billhdz.

 

Happy to provide clarifications on the compatibility of these versions in QuickBooks. Thus, the confusion will be eliminated.

 

Yes, you're correct that QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac 2019 and 2020 version is compatible with Big Sur and Monterey. Just ensure that you're in Release 13 to avoid any issues soon. Since you're in the renewed release, I'd suggest installing the update as soon as you're ready. This way, you can utilize the new features.  

 

But before that, I'd suggest backing up your company file for future use. 

 

Furthermore, check out our QBDT for Mac Q & A for your later reference. This page contains various topics of QuickBooks that surely answer your frequently asked questions. 

 

Let me know if there's anything else you need. I'll be right here to help you with your account. Hopefully, I've clarified everything. Take care, billhdz.

@MichelleBh  - you had mentioned that I'll need release 13, but when I select "Check for QuickBooks Updates" it says I'm up to date with version 19.0.9.940 R10 and that it's the "newest version available."

How do I get release 13 then?
