Question

Tags are being phased out. What do I use now to group items for reporting purposes such as Utilities, Maintenance & Repair, Venue Rental Expenses in one report?

I used to run reports which included all Tag Groups and associated tags with detail info. I don't want to continue using tags if they are not going to be supporting in the future. Custom Fields does not help. I don't want to create a report and manually select all accounts and group them when tags does this for me currently.

I'll provide some updates regarding the tag feature in QuickBooks, AL.


Please note that from May 19, 2025, only users who have previously utilized tags will have access to them until May 19, 2028. Starting May 16, 2025, all tags will become read-only, which means you'll be unable to create new tags or use them for reporting purposes. Alternatively, you can use the custom field feature to track and generate reports in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
 

Given the circumstances, I highly encourage you to submit feedback to our Product Engineers about this update, based on your user experience. Our team will carefully review your suggestions and may consider them for potential incorporation in future updates, depending on user interest.
