QuickBooks Desktop EOL: What You Need to Know

Intuit has announced that it will no longer sell new subscriptions of certain QuickBooks Desktop products in the US starting October 1, 2024. This means that if you're looking to purchase a new subscription to QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, Mac Plus, or Enhanced Payroll, you'll need to do so before September 30th.

What doesn't change:
  • Existing customers can continue to renew their subscriptions: If you already have a subscription to one of these products, you can continue to renew it after September 30th.
  • QuickBooks Enterprise subscriptions will remain available: All QuickBooks Enterprise subscriptions (Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond) will continue to be available for purchase for new subscribers after September 30th.
What you can do:
  • Upgrade to QuickBooks Enterprise: If you're looking for a more customizable and powerful solution, QuickBooks Enterprise can be tailored to your specific business needs.
  • Switch to QuickBooks Online: If you prefer a cloud-based solution, QuickBooks Online offers flexibility and accessibility from anywhere.
  • Purchase Enhanced Payroll before September 30th: If you need payroll services, consider purchasing a QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll subscription before September 30th or upgrading to QuickBooks Enterprise Gold, Platinum, or Diamond.
  • Update your software: Ensure you're running the latest version of QuickBooks Desktop for optimal performance and security.


While Intuit is phasing out the sale of new subscriptions for certain QuickBooks Desktop products, existing customers can continue to renew their subscriptions and utilize the software. If you're looking for a new solution or need to upgrade, QuickBooks Enterprise and QuickBooks Online offer viable alternatives.
