Why can't i buy Quickbooks Desktop Accountant Edition online?

This is not the type of experience we want you to have, @Stevelynngott. 

You can purchase our bundled subscription online through this link: QuickBooks Accountant Desktop 2023. However, if you only need QuickBooks Accountant Desktop, then you may need to contact our Sales Team. They'll make sure that you get the right subscription and answer all the questions that you have. 

Refer to this link on how to reach our Sales team: Contact Us. They're available from Monday to Friday, 5 am to 6 pm (PST).  

Once done, you can now install it on your PC and activate your QBDT. Here's how you can install QuickBooks Desktop and activate QuickBooks Desktop for Windows. 

Let me know if you have further questions about subscribing to QuickBooks Accountant Desktop. I'm always here to help. Have a great rest of the day! 

Unfortunately, the sales team is no help.  I scheduled a call with Darrell who was only interested in selling me the on line version.  I explained I only wanted 2023 accountants desktop, and he told to just go ahead and purchase it.  Now, I've ended up here realizing this is impossible. Noone is answering at QBs, and it seems my only option is to try again next week.........Who is answering the phone in sales? This guy had no idea what he was talking about and similarly was not familiar with the product.

Have you tried to purchase online?

Yes. Hence the post.  Not allowed this year.  

Yes. Hence the post.  As original post mentions, can’t be done.  Seems they have hired a team of Sales professionals not familiar with the product to push the online package. I have set up the obligatory appointment with another who hopefully will be more helpful.  

Consider to purchase via a partner/reseller as a workaround.
