Quickbooks For Mac Discontinued
Intuit has just announced the release of QuickBooks for Mac 2020. Initially this product will be rolled out to QuickBooks ProAdvisors with an Enterprise Software Bundle (that includes a license for QuickBooks for Mac). Not long after, current QuickBooks for Mac users will begin being notified about the availability of the initial release of the software (should they wish to purchase an upgrade for download). Soon thereafter, QuickBooks for Mac 2020 versions will begin appearing on retailers' shelves.
Some random points about QuickBooks for Mac: 1) It may be a subtle distinction, but I had a conversation with someone at Intuit, and while they said that it is true that there currently are no plans for a Mac-native follow-up to QuickBooks for Mac 2016, they also said that the door isn't completely closed to a future version. Intuit QuickBooks was added by ericissimo in Sep 2009 and the latest update was made in Jun 2017. The list of alternatives was updated Oct 2019.

Quickbooks For Mac 2016 Discontinued
Insightful Accountant has had communications with Intuit personnel, including product managers and developers, concerning the new features so we can give you a glimpse into the new version. This article provides a synopsis of those features. This year I decided to post this QuickBooks for Mac summary separate from my 2020 QuickBooks (for Windows) Summarybecause I realize that most of our readers who ‘do Mac’ don’t have any interest regarding the Windows versions, or vice versa.

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.

iPhone Scanner Integration
Upload text searchable images from your iPhone/iPad to QuickBooks for Mac
QB-Mac-2020_iPhone2Mac_01_4x3-R
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.
When you take a Phone, say of a receipt, and press photo the phone will be saved in the QuickBooks Attachment Center. From there you can attach it to any document.
×User your iPhone camera to quickly scan in photographed bills, receipts, invoices, or other forms, then search them easily with new QB for Mac search features
As an alternative you can add attachments directly from a transaction by clicking on attachments, then clicking on the plus icon and selecting either your iPhone or iPad, then click on either scan docs or take photo for the appropriate device to open the camera on the device, when you press photo it will be saved as an attachment directly to that transaction.
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 3rd 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. Since I am not a regular QuickBooks for Mac user, I am not a good judge of these changes, you will need to decide for yourself.
So, let’s start by taking a look at the interface… one of the first things you will notice is that there are 3 tabs: options, filters and format. In detail reports you can search by the available columns.
×Modernized reporting with improved customization and real-time updates that show changes automatically
By the way, reports are self-refreshing now which means that they show changes to your data in real-time automatically.
The filters tab provides another location by which you can easily search for information you are needing, then build your report to express your report results.
×QuickBooks for Mac Modernized Reports mean refreshed reporting structure affording greater usability, easier navigation and better appearing presentation(s).
