# Exit Archive

> One-time, audit-ready archives of QuickBooks Online companies: full general ledger, every report in cash and accrual basis, every attachment linked to its transaction, and the audit log, delivered as a single download with a custom cover page and summary. For businesses cancelling QuickBooks Online after closing, selling, or switching software.

QuickBooks Online keeps data read-only for one year after cancellation, then deletes it permanently, while the IRS can request records for up to seven years. Exit Archive closes that gap with a one-time archive instead of an ongoing subscription.

All content is for general information only. Not tax, legal, or accounting advice.
