Given Intuit’s normal “sunset” policies, that would indicate that QuickBooks for Mac will be discontinued in 2019. Update 3/1/2017: Just as I predicted, today Intuit told ProAdvisors that there will be no new version of QuickBooks for Mac on the desktop. The 2016 version is the last, and support will expire on May 31 2019. QuickBooks for Mac 2015; QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions V15; If loss of any of these services are a problem for your business, you can upgrade to a more current version to continue getting support. Services Discontinued for QuickBooks Pro, Premier, Enterprise and Mac 2015. Question: I have a Mac that I use for my business, but I’d like to use QuickBooks. What are my options? Answer: There is a Mac desktop version of QuickBooks, which is very different from the Windows QuickBooks and is inadequate for our business. Furthermore, it is being discontinued, and a 2017 version is not.

Seems like I remember words something to the affect of, 'No man left behind.' Well, apparently, that doesn't apply to Mac users of QuickBooks.

So, as they say, 'The party is over.'

QB for Mac

In an announcement by Rich Preece, VP of the Accountant Segment of Intuit's Small Business Group, the company has begun issuing notices that it will not be releasing any new versions of QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

While QuickBooks Desktop for Mac 2016 will be the last version available, the product will continue to be supported by Intuit until May 31, 2019.

Intuit also advises that this notification has no affect in regard to the the 2018 Windows versions of QuickBooks Desktop Pro and Premier.

While QuickBooks ProAdvisors, Intuit Re-sellers and accountant partners are being advised of these developments, QuickBooks Desktop for Mac small business customers will receive a separate notification of this news in the coming weeks.

Of course Intuit is encouraging users of the QB for Mac product to migrate to QuickBooks Online.

This article provides a synopsis of those features.

The New Look

Probably the biggest and brightest, or perhaps ‘darkest’ (depending on your perspective) change in my way of thinking is QuickBooks for Mac has ‘gone dark’ with compatibility to use the Dark Mode user interface found in the Mojave Operating System. It certainly gives QuickBooks for Mac an entirely different look that many QB-Mac users have been asking for.

Most Apple lovers are indeed ‘Apple lovers’ that means they not only love their Macs they love their iPhones as well, and so they want they two of them to work together and that’s true even when it comes to QuickBooks. Well for 2020 these Apple lovers can now upload text searchable images from their iPhone cameras to QuickBooks for Mac. You can also add these images to your QuickBooks transactions via the ‘Attachments Center’ as long as you have everything set-up properly.

In order to use this feature the following configuration and settings must be operational: (1) you must be using the Mojave MacOS, (2) your iPhone must be using iOS 12 (or higher), (3) your Mac and iPhone must be on the same WIFI network or must be connected via Bluetooth, (4) you must be signed into iCloud on both your Mac and iPhone, (5) and you must have enabled two-factor identification.

By the way, this process uses OCR when attaching documents so as to make them searchable which is the next new feature.

Improved Search of Attached Images

Significant improvements have been made in the ability to search scanned PDF attachments for text. Because the new process is reliant upon the OCR being when attaching documents, they should be as high a resolution with a high a contrast as possible to make searching easier to insure that you find the information you are seeking.

QuickBooks for Mac 2020 has enhanced text searchable image scanning, search scanned PDF images for specific text using integrated OCR functionality.

Note, if you are using either scanned images of, or searching for scanned images of Intuit Online Payroll documents, you must have Adobe Acrobat available, and Adobe Acrobat license is not included with your QuickBooks for Mac license.

Reporting Modernization

I remember several years back QuickBooks for Mac supposedly enhanced their reporting capabilities and the general consensus was that “they made it more like QuickBooks for Windows” when Mac users had hoped they would make it more like typical Mac reporting tools Numbers, or even 3^rd party tools likes today’s Domo or Looker. Now we have another revision they are calling a ‘Modernization’ that promises improved customization, usability, presentation and navigation.
