Intuit has stopped automatically upgrading users of QuickBooks Online to the QBO Advanced edition. Alex Chriss, the EVP who manages Intuit’s small business and self-employed group, noted the move recently.

Self-prepared tax returns efiled with the Internal Revenue Service through May 29 have already exceeded the total for calendar year 2019 by 3.8 percent. While many balance due returns are likely to arrive near the extended filing deadline of July 15, the rise in do-it-yourself units demonstrates that category's continued gain in market share. 

Intuit has cancelled its annual conference, QuickBooks Connect. The conference website this week promises “something new and exciting is coming” but does not say anything about  the details of a likely virtual version.
