I remember when Intuit rolled out the TLS 1.2 requirement and it caught a ton of people off guard. All of a sudden things like payroll, bank feeds, or even just updating QuickBooks Desktop started throwing errors, and the culprit was just that older security protocols (TLS 1.0 and 1.1) got phased out.
The good news is it’s not super complicated to fix. A few things usually do the trick:
Make sure your Windows is up to date (Windows 10 or at least 8.1 plays nicer with TLS 1.2).
Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest version your license supports.
Weirdly enough, check your Internet Explorer settings even if you never use IE. QuickBooks relies on those under the hood. Just go to Internet Options → Advanced tab, tick TLS 1.2, and untick the older ones.
Sometimes you’ll need to grab a .NET Framework or system update, since those affect how TLS works in the background.
Once all that’s set, QuickBooks should connect fine again. If you’re on a really old version that’s out of support, though, you might run into a wall and need to upgrade or run it through a hosted setup where TLS 1.2 is already baked in.
