I have an accountant client. They have a Pro Advisor subscription. If the subscription is current can they still use the prior versions (2022, 2023) they had previously subscribed to, or is there a separate fee for each prior year?

It's possible to continue using prior versions (2022-2023), bobgroger. 

 

If the prior QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) versions have active subscriptions on their computer, they have a separate fee for each edition. Furthermore, they can open and use a secondary company file within the program without incurring additional charges if your client only has the current subscription active and needs to access company files from previous years. 

 

Please note that if you upgrade to a newer version of QuickBooks Desktop, you'll need to update your company files to be compatible with the recent version. This update only needs to be done once. To learn more, please refer to this article: Update your company files to a new version of QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Your client may cancel their subscriptions if they don't plan on using the service. Ensure to create backup files before doing so.

 

Here's an article about importing and adding accountant’s corrections to update accounts within the program: Import your accountant's changes into your company file in QuickBooks Desktop.

Accountants need to be able to work on any version of Quickbooks for many reasons. How can we get more info on the separate fee for 22/23 versions? Their prior versions still work at this point, but we are trying to prepare if they stop.
