Ask the Accountant…
Question: I keep reading about the QB Premier subscription. Why are we being forced into the Online version?
Answer: It’s true that QB Premier 2022 and beyond can only be purchased on a subscription basis. It is not true that this is the online version of QB (QuickBooks Online, aka QBO). A QB Premier subscription is just that—a subscription for which you pay annually. A QB Premier subscription is the same exact QB Premier that you are familiar with, just with some additional features and a different pay structure.
The subscription basis only means that you pay annually to maintain the program, but it is not online nor their “online product.”
