Looking for QuickBooks Self-Employed? It's been discontinued — here are your options

The short answer: Intuit discontinued QuickBooks Self-Employed in 2024 and no longer offers it to new users — everyone is now pushed to QuickBooks Solopreneur (~$20/mo). If you’re only ending up on Solopreneur because QBSE is gone and you’d rather have something simpler, Toozi does the same core jobs — expense tracking, mileage, tax estimates — entirely by text message, with no app to learn.

Why Toozi for ex-QBSE users

  • No app, no dashboard. QBSE users often just wanted simple income/expense/mileage tracking without accounting overhead. Toozi is that — by text.
  • Multiple hustles, separate books, one price. Solopreneur centers a single business; Toozi keeps each hustle’s books apart, each mapped to its own Schedule C.
  • Free one-click QuickBooks import. Bring your existing QuickBooks transactions over and pick up where you left off.

When to stay in the Intuit world (honest)

  • If you’re deep in the Intuit ecosystem (TurboTax, QuickBooks Online, an accountant who uses QBO), Solopreneur keeps you in that stack.
