Allow me to join and share some clarifications about QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) products, @Yosef Cowan.
Yes, QBDT versions 2006-2018 will continue to work if you don't use add-ons on your products. QuickBooks versions 2019, 2020, and 2021 are the fully supported product for this year, and 2019 will be discontinued by the year 2022. That's why my peer referred 2006-2019 versions. Furthermore, as long as 2019, 2020, and 2021 are the supported versions for this year, you'll have access to QuickBooks services online such as payroll, live support, online (cloud) backup, online banking, and other services.
If you use our Payroll service in 2018 and below prior versions, you can upgrade to the latest version in QBDT to keep using the feature.
And again, QBDT will continue to work fine with the 2006-2018 version if you don't use any of the add-on services indicated in this article: QuickBooks Desktop services discontinuation policy and upgrade information. Also, not all versions will end supportability, for 2019-2021 versions will continue to work since these are the latest QBDT models. Yes, MTD VAT returns won't work when you use tax services in Intuit for 2018 and prior versions. Yes, you can use alternative bridging software to submit MTD VAT returns.
In addition, I encourage you to read the frequently asked questions in the article that I suggested above for more details and include this as well: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy and upgrade information. If you receive any security updates and want to continue some of our features and services, you can decide to install them.
Remember to comment here if you have additional questions about QBDT features and more. Anytime I can provide help. Stay safe and have a blissful day.
