Yes. But you will need a workaround for the bank feed feature.

Hello there, DBZ

 

Yes, QuickBooks Desktop 2021 will continue to work beyond July 2024. However, we need to keep in mind that if you don't upgrade by May 31, 2024, you'll no longer have access to live technical support if you run into problems or any of the other Intuit services that can be integrated with QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

This service includes QuickBooks Desktop Payroll, QuickBooks Desktop Payments, and online bank feeds. Also, you'll no longer receive the latest critical security patches and updates. To know more about the QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy, you can check out this article: QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy.

 

I've also added this link as a reference in case you decide to upgrade to a newer version: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier, or Enterprise.

 

Feel free to drop your follow-up questions and other concerns about QuickBooks Desktop in the comments below. I'll always be here to assist.

Let me chime in and share some information regarding the QuickBooks Desktop service discontinuation policy, ABaumgardner. 

 

In QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), you can still use Excel and QBDT Statement Writer after May 31, 2024, since these features aren't included in the affected services. However, please know that if there are updates in Microsoft Office, there are possibilities that certain features will be affected. 

 

You can utilize these articles to learn more about QuickBooks Statement Writer (QSW) and to dig deeper into services that will be affected by the service discontinuation:
