QuickBooks Solopreneur

Reviewed July 30, 2026 · Pricing verified against Intuit's published plans at time of writing

QuickBooks Solopreneur is Intuit's answer to the "I don't need full double-entry accounting, I just need to track income, expenses, and mileage for my taxes" problem. It's built specifically for one-person businesses filing a Schedule C, not scaled-down QuickBooks Online.

The Auto Bookkeeping card above shows income and expenses categorizing automatically as transactions come in. QuickBooks Solopreneur is purpose-built for one-person businesses, rather than being a stripped-down version of software meant for teams.

Pricing breakdown

• Solopreneur — $20/month, or $120/year
• A 30-day free trial is typically available, and introductory discounts (around 50% off for the first few months) show up periodically — confirm current promos at signup, they change often

What's included

Automated expense tracking (bank/card sync with categorization), basic invoicing, mileage tracking via GPS, and tax estimates/reporting aimed at Schedule-C filing. Intuit markets general AI-assisted features under the "Intuit Assist" name across its product line, but the specific AI capabilities included at the Solopreneur tier versus other QuickBooks plans aren't clearly broken out in Intuit's own materials as of this writing — worth confirming directly on their site rather than assuming parity with QuickBooks Online.

Where you'll outgrow it

Solopreneur is deliberately the most stripped-down tier in the QuickBooks lineup. It doesn't do full double-entry accounting or support more complex needs like inventory, multiple users, or contractor 1099 management at scale. The moment your business grows past a pure solo Schedule-C setup — hiring even one regular contractor, for instance — you're likely migrating to QuickBooks Online Simple Start or above, and that migration isn't seamless.
