Hi All

Is the update below correct?  Does this mean we can continue to use our QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2021 software post the end of May 2023 or June 2023 depending on which update you look at? 

If this is the case, can anyone explain what is classed as an "add on service"?  Will we still be able to pay VAT?  We don't use the payroll function so that should not be an issue.  

We have a test migration running on QuickBooks online and the amount of functionality that has been removed makes this option totally unworkable for us. It's so unbelievably bad that I would be laughing if wasn't so desperate to find an alternative solution.  Why on earth would you scrap such a great software package when there is no directly comparable product available in the market?!  It makes absolutely no business sense at all!

Hi there, @Kellyj7364.

I'm here to share some update. 

After May 31, 2023, access to add-on services will be discontinued for QuickBooks Desktop for Windows 2020. This includes all versions of QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier, and Enterprise Solutions v20. If you don't use any of the add-on services in QuickBooks Desktop 2020, your product will continue to work for you.

With the discontinuation in 2023, you can still use the app if you have purchased a not subscription-based.

However, there will be no more updates, and you will have to troubleshoot all the issues manually.

You can refer to this link for more information about the discontinuation of the QBDT UK version: QuickBooks Desktop is being discontinued.

I hope your questions are answered. Please touch base with me here for all of your QuickBooks needs, I'm always happy to help.
