Intuit is pushing and pointing everyone to using QuickBooks Online and Online Payroll sort of making it seem like it’s the only game in town. The same goes with Payroll, it’s almost impossible to find information on QuickBooks Basic, Enhanced or Assisted Payroll all of which work with the desktop installation of QuickBooks. If you visit the Intuit QuickBooks website at what you see advertised is the QuickBooks Online version and unless scroll all the way to the bottom of that page and look under the Products column, you don’t see the desktop versions of QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Premier, QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions, QuickBooks Accountant or even the QuickBooks for the Mac versions! Everything on that page points you to the “all-new QuickBooks” which is the QuickBooks Online product. There seems to be an incredible debate going on between QuickBooks Desktop vs QuickBooks Online and it’s really beginning to bug the heck out of me.
