for those still struggling like I was, here is the link to buy "QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024": Intuit QuickBooks

here is the thing that is confusing everyone and I am convinced that Intuit is doing it purposely.
When Intuit agents reference "QuickBooks Desktop pro 2024" they are really referencing "QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024". There is no such thing as "QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2024" with a perpetual license.

For all of those contemplating purchasing from the people that keep responding to all of the posts saying they can sell you a Desktop version with a perpetual license and $100 back. Buyer beware. You will almost certainly get someone else's key. These are "not" authorized Intuit resellers and you will be sorry.

Bottomline is this. If you currently are using QBDT Pro 2021 or earlier, if you don't upgrade before May 31, 2024, all of your online services will cease to work.  If you don't upgrade before 7/31, 2024 you will no longer even have the option to get a subscription to Pro Plus and will have to go to the enterprise version.

Finally, if you need to buy Enhanced Payroll instead of Online Payroll, here is a link for that. Scroll past all of the Online Payroll gibberish and you will get to the actual Enhanced Payroll link: QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced | Payroll Done for You (intuit.com)
