12. ONE THING YOU NEED TO KNOW
QuickBooks Made Easy for Nonprofits – Future of QuickBooks Desktop
INTUIT ONLY SUPPORTS THE LATEST 3 YEARS OF
QUICKBOOKS DESKTOP (ALL VERSIONS)
ON MAY 31 OF EVERY YEAR INTUIT STOPS
SUPPORTING THE VERSION THAT IS 4 YEARS
BEHIND
THIS IS CALLED “SUNSETTING” THE PRODUCT
SO ON MAY 31, 2024 INTUIT WILL STOP
SUPPORTING – QUICKBOOKS 2021!!!
THEY ALREADY STOPPED SUPPORTING
QUICKBOOKS 2020 AND OLDER!
YES, YOUR PROGRAM STILL WORKS, BUT…
13. QuickBooks Made Easy for Nonprofits – Future of QuickBooks Desktop
WHAT DOES SUNSETTING MEAN?
YOUR QUICKBOOKS PRODUCT WILL STILL WORK
BUT
NO LONGER CAN USE INTEGRATED SERVICES WITH
IT
NO MORE P/R SERVICE
NO MORE MERCHANT SERVICE
NO MORE DOWNLOADING BANK TRANSACTIONS
INTUIT WON’T HELP WITH LIVE TECH SUPPORT
INTUIT WILL NOT FIX ISSUES WITH IT
14. QuickBooks Made Easy for Nonprofits – Future of QuickBooks Desktop
WHICH QUICKBOOKS PRODUCTS GET SUNSET
EACH YEAR?
ALL VERSIONS OF QUICKBOOKS
DESKTOP
QUICKBOOKS PRO
QUICKBOOKS PREMIER
QUICKBOOKS ENTERPRISE
QUICKBOOKS ACCOUNTANT
QUICKBOOKS FOR THE MAC
15. MAY 31, 2024 CHANGE (“SUNSET”)
QuickBooks Made Easy for Nonprofits – Future of QuickBooks Desktop
EFFECTIVELY AFTER MAY 31, 2024
IF YOU HAVE 2021 OR OLDER
YOU HAVE BEEN “SUNSETTED”

VERSION OF DESKTOP (SUBSCRIPTION MODEL)
MOVE TO QBO
QUICKBOOKS 2021 AND OLDER? HERE ARE
YOUR CHOICES
17. 2021 AND OLDER: WHAT TO DO
QuickBooks Made Easy for Nonprofits – Future of QuickBooks Desktop
IF CONTINUE TO USE IT
IT MAY NOT BREAK FOR YEARS
BUT WHEN IT DOES
NO SUPPORT
YOU MAY LOSE ALL THE DATA
MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET SOMEONE WITH A NEWER
SUBSCRIPTION OF QUICKBOOKS DESKTOP TO BE
ABLE TO OPEN THE FILE.
18. 2021 AND OLDER: WHAT TO DO
QuickBooks Made Easy for Nonprofits – Future of QuickBooks Desktop

VERSION
YOU NEED TO DO THIS BY
JULY 31, 2024

PAY EACH YEAR ($650 -$900 A YEAR*)
NOT OFFERED BY TECHSOUP
* PRO AND PREMIER, ENTERPRISE IS MORE
20. QuickBooks Made Easy for Nonprofits – Future of QuickBooks Desktop

21. QuickBooks Made Easy for Nonprofits – Future of QuickBooks Desktop
BY JULY 31, 2024
USING 2021 OR BEFORE?

SUBSCRIPTION

USE FUTURE VERSIONS OF QB DESKTOP
• USE YOUR PRODUCT UNTIL

SUBSCRIPTION IS CURRENT
22. QuickBooks Made Easy for Nonprofits – Future of QuickBooks Desktop
HAVE/OR GET A CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION QB
DESKTOP BY JULY 31, 2024????
• MEANS YOU ARE PAYING AN ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
($649 AT LEAST)
• YOU WILL GET THE NEWEST VERSION EACH YEAR
• AS LONG AS YOU KEEP PAYING ANNUALLY, INTUIT SAYS THEY
WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT IT
• IF YOU CANCEL OR FAIL TO RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION
• ONE USER WILL BE ABLE TO “VIEW” THE FILE FOR A YEAR
• BUT NOT WORK IN IT
• AFTER A YEAR, YOU WILL LOSE THE FILE ALTOGETHER
UNTIL YOU,
• RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION
• MOVE TO QBO
• OPEN IT IN SOMEONE ELSE’S QUICKBOOKS – MAYBE??
23. QuickBooks Made Easy for Nonprofits – Future of QuickBooks Desktop
WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON WITH QUICKBOOKS
DESKTOP????
MY THOUGHTS??
• NO NEW CUSTOMERS AFTER JULY 31,
2024
• EVER DECREASING CUSTOMER BASE
• ENTERPRISE WILL CONTINUE
• BUT IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME….
• BEFORE PRO,PREMIER AND MAC ARE
DONE….
