Seemingly out of nowhere, when I go to enter the account for a transaction, the drop down menu with the chart of accounts no longer displays the full name. I used to be able to see the full name in its entirety. Hovering the mouse doesn’t read the full description either. Any ideas how to correct this? Thanks in advance!
I just came across an update directly from Intuit that surprised me. I thought QuickBooks Desktop 2024 was supposed to be discontinued in May 2027, but apparently that’s no longer the case.
According to Intuit:
QuickBooks Desktop 2024 (including Pro Plus, Premier Plus, and Enterprise Solutions) won’t be discontinued in May 2027.
Intuit is moving away from its traditional 3-year software lifecycle.
Version 24.0 will receive continuous support and product maintenance.
Intuit says it plans to provide ongoing security patches, tax compliance updates, and other enhancements for years to come.
Here’s the official Intuit update:
This seems like pretty big news for businesses that still prefer Desktop and don't want to move everything to QuickBooks Online.
The bigger issue now seems to be actually finding QuickBooks Desktop licenses since Intuit has made Desktop much harder to buy directly. For anyone looking for QuickBooks Desktop at a lower price, I’ve also seen different Desktop versions available through licenseRetail.com
What do you guys think about this change? Does this make you more likely to stay with QuickBooks Desktop instead of moving to Online?

We got a batch of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise 2024, and since there are always questions about Desktop versions and what still works, here's a straightforward explanation of what you're getting and what you're not.
What you're actually getting
This is QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise 2024 for Windows, designed for businesses that need more advanced accounting and inventory features than QuickBooks Pro.
It includes features such as:
• Invoicing and bills
• Accounts payable & receivable
• Advanced inventory and pricing features
• Job costing
• Purchase orders
• Check printing
• Manual bank reconciliation
• Advanced reporting
• Local company-file storage
• Multi-user capabilities
Who is it for?
Enterprise is generally a better fit for businesses with more complex accounting needs, including contractors, manufacturing & wholesale businesses, nonprofits, professional services, retail businesses, and other companies that need more advanced inventory, reporting, permissions, or multi-user functionality.
Important: Desktop software and Intuit's connected services aren't the same thing. Features that depend on Intuit's servers or an active service/subscription can have different requirements and availability. Make sure the specific features you need are supported before buying.
If your business mainly needs Desktop accounting with company files stored locally on your own Windows computers, Enterprise 2024 can be worth considering.
Happy to answer questions about compatibility, installation, or whether Enterprise 2024 fits your particular setup. I'd rather tell someone it's not right for them than sell them something that doesn't meet their needs.
Will there be any value in creating a Claude Agent skill for QuickBooks Desktop.
Specifically, a technical skill for integrators and technical consultants.
We have done some work in the space, and we are building Claude agent skill for various other ERP systems.
It's an open source initiative run by me, community contributions and free for all.
I have no issue creating this, might need some help from community to share docs, and other resources.
