QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2023 Pricing

QuickBooks Desktop 2023 is being offered at full MSRP with no discounts available. Until this year, discounts were found through retailers such as Costco, Sam’s Club, and Amazon. This will not happen for the 2023 products. For new customers, new subscriptions for certain QuickBooks desktop products, including QuickBooks Pro, will be discontinued in 2024, and existing subscribers with active annual subscriptions can continue to renew and use their software. New customers have limited options for purchasing new licenses, and are encouraged to consider QuickBooks Online as an alternative.

• $549 for QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2023 (QuickBooks Pro is the entry-level option among QuickBooks desktop products, and Pro Plus supports multiple companies)
• $549 for QuickBooks 2023 Desktop for Mac
• $799 for QuickBooks 2023 Desktop Premier Plus (Premier Plus is available as a standard edition or in industry-specific editions, and also supports multiple companies)
• Prices for QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise 23.0 for 2023 (v 23.0) remain unchanged (Enterprise Platinum and higher tiers offer advanced inventory, cloud access, and additional features)

All QuickBooks Desktop Plus versions are sold as an annual subscription, marking a transition from the previous one-time license model. Subscriptions include automatic upgrades to the latest supported version, ensuring you always have access to the most current QuickBooks software. Upgrading is important to maintain access to updates, security patches, and support, as only supported versions receive these benefits.

When you purchase or renew QuickBooks Desktop through Intuit or Haynie, you must maintain a valid license. The purchase process involves selecting your preferred QuickBooks desktop product, choosing between annual subscription or, where available, a monthly plan or monthly fee, and ensuring your license remains active for continued access.

Be aware of the various costs associated with QuickBooks desktop products, including the base subscription price, additional fees for extra features, add ons, user licenses, and services such as payroll or cloud access. Some features, such as built in payroll, QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll, assisted payroll, QuickBooks Time, QuickBooks Time Elite, and advanced inventory, may require an additional fee or incur additional fees. QuickBooks Payments integration allows you to accept payments, but may also involve a monthly fee or transaction fees. You can also download reports for payroll, accounts, and transactions.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise plans offer cloud access for remote work, and certain plans include single user access to features like Intuit Field Management. When managing your account, you can integrate business bank and credit card accounts for streamlined financial management.

QuickBooks software is part of the broader suite of Intuit products, designed to meet the needs of other business owners and accounting professionals. As with all accounting software, it is important to account for all costs, fees, and add ons when budgeting for your business.

Free trials or free content may be available for some Intuit products or services. All trade names referenced, including QuickBooks, ProAdvisor, and Payroll, are used for informational purposes only and are the property of their respective owners.

New Payroll Pricing

Intuit is also increasing QuickBooks Payroll rates.

QuickBooks Desktop Enhanced Payroll: $50 a month and $5 per employee per month

QuickBooks Online Core Payroll: $45 per month and $5 per employee per month

Additional Benefits of QuickBooks Online Core Payroll

• Cloud-based anytime, anywhere access
• Automated tax payments and form filings (Federal/State/W2)
• Auto-payroll (salary employees set it and forget it)
• Next Day Direct Deposit
• New Hire Reporting
• Desktop QB Export/QBO Integration

Both QuickBooks Desktop and Online Payroll services provide customer support to help answer questions and resolve issues for customers using payroll features. This ensures that customers can maintain smooth payroll operations and receive assistance when needed.

Desktop Payroll has always been a good product; however, we have found many issues with QBO Payroll. It has improved in the last couple of years, but we recommend third-party software that is easier to use, easier to correct mistakes, and a little less expensive. Now is a good time to convert to a different payroll platform to be ready for 2023.
