There is no free program, although there are limited time usage.

The program has video tutorials.

If you buy a learning book, most of them include 140 days use of the program. Just search the web.

Thank you for your answers.  I found out there is a 30 day trial period for online quickbooks and that Intuit is offering (or was) a locked in price of $20-30 per month a really good deal.  I Appreciate your responses!

Costco right now has Pro for $100.

You can play around with QB Online for free:

https://qbo.intuit.com/c5/v44.170/024779611/frameset?htype=new&redir_home=true

But it is not the same as the desktop products at all.

 I agree about the online version.  Plus, in a few months of online fees you could buy a desktop version that works so much better, both in functionality and capability.

Personally, I choose to spend a hundred or two dollars on something I'll use for 3 to 5 years, instead of $300 to $400 or more, per year on something that I can't access later unless I keep paying them.
