Intuit has been sending reminders to its QuickBooks Desktop users that the last date you can purchase a QuickBooks Desktop product is September 30, 2024.
After September 30, 2024, Intuit will no longer sell new subscriptions of the following Desktop products in the US:
- QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus
- QuickBooks Desktop Premier Plus
- QuickBooks Desktop Mac Plus
- QuickBooks Desktop Enhanced Payroll
What is not changing:
- Existing Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, Mac Plus, and Enhanced Payroll subscribers can continue to renew their subscription after September 30, 2024 with continued security updates, product updates, and support for existing subscribers.
- All QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise subscriptions (Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond) will continue to be available for purchase for new subscribers after September 30, 2024. Enterprise Gold, Platinum, and Diamond include integrated payroll.
- Accountants can continue purchasing QuickBooks Accountant Desktop Solutions, including ProAdvisor bundles, through Intuit’s Accountant Sales team after September 30, 2024 at 1-877-377-6839.
What actions to take:
While we strongly recommend current QuickBooks Desktop clients to move to QuickBooks Online, we realize that some customers may prefer to stay on QuickBooks Desktop at this time.
- If you are on non-subscription versions of QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier, or Mac that wish to remain on Desktop, we recommend that you purchase a QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Mac Plus subscription through the Intuit QuickBooks sales team before September 30, 2024. As a reminder, if your current QuickBooks product is no longer supported, you will not receive critical security updates which may expose your financial data to security vulnerabilities.
- If you have Pro Plus or Premier Plus and have been considering Desktop Payroll, we recommend purchasing a QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll subscription before September 30, 2024 or upgrade to QuickBooks Enterprise Gold, Platinum, or Diamond, which include integrated Payroll and can be purchased after September 30, 2024. Alternatively, QuickBooks Online Payroll is available to Desktop clients and is a standalone full-service payroll solution that also offers HR support, Health, and 401K benefits.
- We also recommend that everyone using QuickBooks Desktop upgrade to the latest version by September 30, 2024. QuickBooks Desktop 2024 includes the latest features and security updates. If you are on an active QuickBooks Desktop Plus subscription, you have access to QuickBooks Desktop 2024 with no additional charge and simply have to install the update.
