QuickBooks 2018 new features

1. Compatibility with QuickBooks 2017 and other prior versions:

Imagine a situation in which you need to share a few company files with people using older versions of QuickBooks like QuickBooks 2015, QuickBooks 2014, etc. Then you must have the ability to save files of the latest version into older formats. The QuickBooks users must be able to open old forms except in the case of active payroll services.

2. Support for Office 2016 :

In case you have upgraded to Microsoft Office 2016 and are using QuickBooks 2016 with it, you may suffer due to the improper functioning of the software. Since Intuit has not managed any compatibility with it. For Example, you can work for your business invoices through Outlook 2013 but not Outlook 2016.

3. Choice to update the software:

The most fascinating feature of QuickBooks is that you can manage your employee payroll and get it synchronized with your online bank accounts. Let us talk about the situation after 3 years of purchasing the product.

As per Intuit’s discontinuation policy, you will lose product support and many of the features get blocked. You need to enter all the transactions manually. To get everything back into practice, you need to upgrade to a newer version of QuickBooks, even if you do not require any amendments in the software.
