How do I automatically update QuickBooks?

If your computer is connected to the Internet, QuickBooks can automatically install the latest updates and tax tables when they become available by turning on the Automatic Update feature. We recommend that you turn this feature on.

  1. Go to the Help menu (for QuickBooks 2006 and earlier, go to the File menu), and select Update QuickBooks.

  2. Click the Options tab.

  3. In the Automatic Update field, click Yes to turn on Automatic Update.

  4. Click Save.

QuickBooks will notify you whenever there is a new update, and asks you to install it.

Tip: If you have this feature turned off, you can still check for and install updates yourself using this feature. To check for available updates, click the Update Now tab, then click the Get Updates button. You should do this approximately once a month if Automatic Update is not turned on.
