Yes, I tried that. Desktop 2024 - twice the price and only good for one year and I have to renew it again next year   Also with it I can no longer use the QB timer program I have used for the last 24 years. However I was told that I can pay for QuickBooks new timer program in addition to paying for payroll.

It turns out to be too expensive for a small business.  I uninstalled the 2024 desktop and I guess in June, I will start doing payroll manually like I did at 33 years ago.  

 I have read many messages on these boards there are many many of us who have been a loyal to QuickBooks for many years buying software every three years to upgrade. Now we feel like we just being robbed and forced into something we don’t want.
