QuickBooks for Mac 2021 is not compatible with Sequoia, billhdz. Let me provide further details to answer your question about system requirements.
As you may already be aware, versions of the software that are no longer supported will not receive updates anymore, including compatibility fixes for newer operating systems released after a particular version of QuickBooks.
Please note that a new operating system is launched, Intuit requires time to test and develop necessary updates to ensure that the supported versions of QuickBooks are fully compatible. That being said, our engineers have already released a patch to update the supported versions of QuickBooks for Mac, ensuring compatibility with the Sequoia operating system.
However, it does not include the 2021 version since it was already discontinued in March of 2024. You can read more details about the discontinuation policy here: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy.
While some users have reported upgrading to Sequoia and continuing to use QuickBooks 2019 or later versions without compatibility issues, this practice carries significant risks. These include possible performance decline and potential threats to data integrity.
For these reasons, we strongly advise upgrading to a fully supported QuickBooks version. This approach ensures seamless compatibility with the latest macOS updates, provides access to ongoing technical support, and maintains critical security protections through regular software patches.
