Can I Cancel Intuit at Any Time?

Intuit allows you to cancel your subscription at any time, but be aware that cancellations typically only take effect at the end of your current billing period, and you generally will not receive a prorated refund for unused time. Some subscriptions, especially annual ones, may have early termination fees if canceled after a 60-day refund window. Also, removing the app or stopping payment doesn't always cancel your subscription—you need to cancel through your account settings. These policies mean you could be locked in for the paid period unless you cancel promptly before renewal to avoid charges.

What Should I Know Before Cancelling Intuit?

Before canceling an Intuit subscription, note that you will retain access only until the end of your current subscription period. If you cancel after the 60-Day Money Back Guarantee period, no prorated refunds are given. Cancelling causes loss of assisted support, data recovery services, and other included services like Intuit Data Protect. For payroll subscriptions, you lose payroll processing, expert support, and payroll-related services. If you miss payments, your file goes on hold and transitions to a view-only mode for a year. Also, backed-up files from Intuit Data Protect are kept only for 30 days after cancellation, and some plans may incur termination fees if canceled early.

Intuit allows cancellation of QuickBooks Online subscriptions through the Intuit Account Manager by the primary or company admin. If canceled within the billing period, the subscription can be resumed without losing the billing cycle, but outside the period requires a new subscription. After cancellation, users retain read-only access to their data for one year, and subscriptions via mobile app stores must be canceled through those platforms' official steps.
