Thanks for circling back to this thread, @billhdz. While QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac 2024 and 2021 are similar in core functionalities, it's important to note that the 2021 version, being older, may not be supported on newer Mac operating systems. Allow me to discuss this further.
As technology advances, new versions of operating systems are released, featuring improved functionality and enhanced security. To remain compatible and benefit from these enhancements, applications like QuickBooks Desktop require regular updates.
Since QBDT 2021 is an older and discontinued version, it may no longer receive updates or support from QuickBooks. This could result in compatibility issues with newer operating systems and unaddressed security vulnerabilities.

To help avoid issues and ensure that your financial information are secured, it's recommended to upgrade to the latest version, such as QBDT Mac 2024. This newer version offers ongoing support and updates, ensuring that your software functions optimally with the most recent advancements. Additionally, upgrading will help ensure that your financial data stays safe and protected, allowing you to benefit from the latest functionalities to streamline your accounting tasks.
