What is the QuickBooks Tool Hub?

Interface for the QuickBooks Tool Hub

The QuickBooks Tool Hub is a free desktop application developed and distributed by Intuit. It serves as a centralized collection of diagnostic utilities designed specifically to fix various issues and common errors encountered in QuickBooks Desktop accounting software.

Previously, QuickBooks users had to download individual applications—such as the Network Diagnostic Tool, Install Diagnostic Tool, and File Doctor—to resolve specific problems. Intuit developed the Tool Hub to integrate all these solutions into one launchpad, making troubleshooting faster and easier.

By using the Tool Hub, you can now resolve common network issues, printing problems, corrupt company files, and installation errors. It also provides shortcuts to reset passwords and connect directly with the QuickBooks Support team. We highly recommend using the QuickBooks Tool Hub first if you face any software issue before contacting support, as it resolves the vast majority of problems quickly.

System Requirements for Installing QuickBooks Tool Hub
