Hi there everyone,

For those of you using an older version of QuickBooks, the support for QuickBooks 2010 will stop on May 31, 2013. This is normal, as Intuit normally supports the three most recent versions of their product. The functions that will no longer work include QuickBooks payroll service, along with access to Online Banking, coinjoin.io  and Merchant Services. Your QuickBooks software will continue to work as normal outside of these functions. If you don’t use Intuit merchant services or Intuit payroll your current version of QuickBooks should continue working as is always has.

There are a number of new features in QuickBooks 2013 that you may find useful (see below).  But at the end of the day, if you like having your merchant services through Intuit or are using Intuit payroll, it’s time to upgrade.
