Hello there, @rdhd0819.
I'll clarify the details about QuickBooks' discontinuation policy and share with you the features in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2022.
With the launch of QBDT 2022, some features are discontinued (Loan Manager, Scan Manager, Cash Flow Projector, and Import from QuickBooks Pro Timer). However, time entry is still one of the offered ones in the new version. All you need to do is enable it through the Preferences window. Here's how:
- Sign in as the Admin. Then, be sure to be in Single-user Mode.
- Go to the Edit menu.
- Select Preferences.
- In the Preferences window, select Time & Expenses.
- Select the Company Preferences tab.
- For the Do You Track Time? option, select Yes.
- In the First Day of Work Week drop-down list, choose the day on which you start tracking time each week. (Note: The day you choose affects all weekly timesheets. For example, if you choose Sunday, your timesheets begin with Sunday.)
- Select Ok.
To learn more about how to use the time tracking feature in QBDT, please see this article: Set up time tracking.
On the other hand, yes, it's true that in 11 days (after May 31, 2022), access to add-on services (i.e., payroll and online banking) will be discontinued. However, it'll only be implemented on the products affected by service discontinuation (i.e., QBDT 2019).
You can find more details about the service discontinuation policy here: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy and upgrade information.
I hear your sentiments about moving to QuickBooks Online (QBO). If you'll consider migrating to QBO, you're allowed one company per subscription. For your second and third businesses, you'll have to sign up for a new account. For the full list of QBO plans and pricing, check out this page: Find the right QuickBooks Online plan for you.
You may upgrade your current QBDT version to a newer one if you opt to stay on QBDT. To help you choose the QBDT version that's right for you, please refer to this page: Choose your QuickBooks Desktop product.
Also, I would encourage you to check out the articles below if you may want to learn what's new in QBDT 2022 and know more about the different QuickBooks products and versions:
Keep me posted if there's anything else you need or clarifications about the features and discontinuation policy in QBDT. I'm always ready to help. Take care, and I wish you continued success, @rdhd0819.
