Dec 26, 2017 - Update to the latest release or download a new version? Thank you for your. However, QuickBooks 2016 would work great with High Sierra. When to upgrade. As the maker of Quicken and QuickBooks (Intuit) moves toward improving its products, services, and security, the retirement of older versions of software is necessary.

January 3, 2018 As happens every year about now, Intuit has announced are discontinuing an older version of QuickBooks. If you are using QuickBooks 2015 (Windows and Mac) then you won’t be able to use certain services and features after May 31, 2018.

I won’t address why they do it, or if I think it is a good practice, I’ll just discuss what the impact will be on your business. For details beyond what I provide here see this on Intuit’s disco (discontinuation) policy. What this means is that for the QuickBooks 2015 desktop products: • QuickBooks 2015 will continue to work after this date, for basic accounting functions. • Any service that relies on an Intuit server (such as desktop payroll, online banking, etc.) will no longer be functional in this release.

• Live technical support will no longer be available from Intuit. • Intuit will not guarantee that you can register products or retrieve keycodes (although, in general I find that this hasn’t been an issue, for at least a few years following discontinuation). • Intuit will not provide replacement CDs or manuals, although you can. • There will be no further updates to the program. This applies to the following products: • QuickBooks Pro 2015 • QuickBooks Premier 2015 • QuickBooks Desktop Accountant 2015 • QuickBooks for Mac 2015 • QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions V15 If loss of any of these services are a problem for your business, you can upgrade to a more current version to continue getting support. Services Discontinued for QuickBooks Pro, Premier, Enterprise and Mac 2015 After May 31, 2018, you will no longer be able to use the following services if you are using one of the 2015 products (note that not all of these were available to Mac users): • Basic, Standard, Enhanced or Assisted Payroll: After the cutoff, QuickBooks 2015 will no longer automatically calculate correct payroll taxes, provide updated forms, or send your payroll data.

• Worker’s Comp: You will no longer be able to process Worker’s Comp Payments through QuickBooks 2015. • ViewMyPaycheck: You and your employees will no longer have access to ViewMyPaycheck. • QuickBooks Merchant Services will no longer process credit card transactions through QuickBooks 2015, although you can still process outside of QB. • Automatic Credit Card Billing will be discontinued.
