Quickbooks subscription model (quickbooks online where you pay monthly or annually) is infinitely more profitable for the company than desktop (a perpetual license).  We were forced to migrate to online as well because of payroll limitations (and eventual phaseout) for all desktop products.

That being said, this bug (it is not a product limitation as I've seen it suggested) has no plans on being fixed based on several reps I've spoken to over the last several days.  They say "there is no problem and this is working just fine".... well until the vendor takes your check to the bank and declines to deposit it.
