Question

Why are the different types of accounts on QB so confusing?

I've had a QB "Self Emplyed" account for over a year now. I've always assumed it was a core part of QB's offering as I hadn't heard otherwise. Today I receive an email saying the app will be disappearing from app stores in a few months, with no reasoning or context as to why, or what I should do.

 

So I search around and find a few articles from earlier this year saying the QBSE is becoming "Solopreneur", but it seems that doesn't actually exist and may be a US-only thing? Not 100%...

 

So then I head to the pricing page where now the only option is "Quickbooks Sole Trader"... Am I supposed to migrate my SE account to this thing now? Can I even do that? Does it have an app?

 

The documentation seems really lapse and there is a real lack of direction on what I'm supposed to do here... Any advice on the best thing for a little one-man-band to manage his stuff for self-assessment?

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns regarding the QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) account and the recent changes, MOGK. I understand how frustrating this situation can be, and I'm here to help clarify things for you.

 

The QBSE app will be discontinued in January 2025 as part of Intuit's strategy to streamline offerings, replaced by QuickBooks Solopreneur, which is currently only available in the U.S.

 

If you want to migrate your data from QBSE to another product, such as QuickBooks Sole Trader, I suggest contacting QuickBooks support at https://intuit.me/CU. They can provide specific guidance to transfer your information and ensure you have access to essential features like mileage tracking and invoicing.

 

While the app will no longer be available for download, you can still access your QBSE account through a web browser until the discontinuation date. It allows you to manage your finances in the interim.

 

For managing self-assessment as a solo entrepreneur, I suggest exploring QuickBooks Solopreneur if it becomes available in your area or considering other accounting solutions that offer similar features tailored for self-employed individuals.

 

I appreciate your patience during this transition period and understand that navigating these changes can be challenging. Let me know if you have further questions or need assistance with specific features. I want to ensure everything is taken care of for you.
