Will QuickBooks for Mac 2020 software work on a new Macbook Air running Tahoe iOS?

My desktop version of QuickBooks for Mac 2020 was running well on my Macbook Air 2020 running Sonoma 14.8.2 iOS. I just bought and waiting to receive a new Macbook Air 2025 running Tahoe iOS. Will QuickBooks for Mac 2020 work on a new Macbook Air running Tahoe iOS? Google says it won't because QuickBooks for Mac 2020 is not officially compatible with the latest macOS versions but I wanted to hear responses  from others so I know how to proceed.

Hi there, richardgreen1.   

 

Please know that QuickBooks Desktop Mac 2020 has not been officially tested for compatibility with MacBook Air 2025 running Tahoe iOS, as QuickBooks has discontinued this product.   

 

While QuickBooks Desktop Mac 2020 may still operate, you could experience compatibility issues when using it with a newer macOS version.

 

You can consider switching to QuickBooks Online (QBO), a cloud-based solution that works with any supported browser, regardless of your operating system.

 

If you have more questions, please let us know. We'll be here to help.

@richardgreen1 

I've read some comments here that they were able to run QB Desktop 2020 on Tahoe without any major issues.
