Question

Quickbooks pro 2022 pro plus

I currently have Quickbooks pro plus 2021.  I will have to renew around 800 dollars around 400 for Quickbooks and 400 for enhanced payroll.   My question is I saw on Amazon that Intuit is selling Quickbooks pro plus 2022 with enhanced payroll for around 600 bucks.  Does anyone know if I buy a new version can I use it and cancel my current subscriptions?  I've tried talking with Intuit support but I don't know if they don't understand or just don't want to answer the question but they don't know.  Does anyone know?

Good day, @tonyp30.

 

I'd like to provide insights about managing your QuickBooks subscription.

 

Yes, you can purchase a new QuickBooks version at a retailer and use it. Make sure to activate it before the expiry. Please note also that QBDT sold at the retail store is not subscription-based.

 

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to Employees, then Payroll, select Install Payroll from Box.
  2. Fill out the fields in the Payroll License and Product Information page.
  3. Hit Continue.
  4. Perform the on-screen steps to complete your payroll activation.

 

Kindly read this article for more information about the activation: Activate a payroll service purchased from a retail store.

 

 

Furthermore, I recommend canceling your QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2021 auto-renewal to avoid future charges. Having said that, let me share with you the QuickBooks Desktop cancelation policies.

 

 

Let me know if there are any other questions you have about QuickBooks and subscription management. I'd love to help anytime. Take care always.

I'm not sure why you are saying Quickbooks pro in the stores is not subscriptions because Best buy, Walmart they are all selling Quickbooks pro Plus 2022 subscriptions.  Here is the link to Best Buy

Plus Amazon has it every, retail location I've been to has it.  Why would you say what you did about retail stores not selling Quickbooks pro subscriptions?

Hello @krworley,

 

Welcome to the Community. Allow me to step in and provide clarification about QuickBooks Desktop.

 

There are two options you can choose from when using QuickBooks Desktop. You can choose the Plus version (annual/monthly subscription/renews yearly/monthly) or the one-time purchase of QuickBooks Desktop (which entitles a maximum of 3 years of usage and supportability).

 

However, Desktop’s one-time purchase products are no longer available in 2022. If you purchase QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus through a retailer, your subscription is valid for one year only.

 

Once it expires, you'll need to renew your subscription. Users will have access to the Customer Account Management Portal (CAMPs). From there, you can renew your account.

 

I've also attached a link that contains detailed steps on how to cancel a subscription before the renewal date: Cancel your QuickBooks Desktop Subscription.

 

Drop me a comment below if you need clarification about the difference between the two versions. I'll be happy to help you some more.


I saw your message that QB Desktop one-time purchase products are no longer available in 2022.  Does this mean after one year I must pay again or I won't have access to my company file?

 

Also, do you know if QB Desktop Pro 2022 includes employee timesheets without payroll?  I use Pro 2018 and have timesheets.  I'm a consultant and bill my clients for my time.  I have no need for payroll, just the timesheet entry to create invoices for my clients.  I've called customer support and they have no idea.

 

Thanks for your help!
