Overview
A QuickBooks Payroll Service is a subscription you activate to enable the payroll features in your QuickBooks Desktop Software. Depending on the features you need, you can choose from Basic, Enhanced or Assisted Payroll.
QuickBooks Payroll service does not work with QuickBooks Mac. Mac users use Intuit Online Payroll as their payroll add-on. As a standalone software, Intuit Online Payroll only exports transactions to QuickBooks Desktop and Quickbooks Online (without Quickbooks Online Payroll).
Note: The payroll service described in this article is intended for QuickBooks Desktop (QuickBooks Pro/Premier or Enterprise) users. Refer to the links in the Related Articles section if you are not a QuickBooks Desktop user.
What is a QuickBooks Desktop Software?
A QuickBooks Desktop Software (PRO, PREM, or ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS) is an accounting or financial software that you install on your desktop. This is where you do your invoicing, bookkeeping, and billing all in one place. You can easily track sales and expenses, accept payments, scan receipts, and be ready for tax time.
If you choose not to subscribe to any of the QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Services, you can set up manual payroll in QuickBooks. QuickBooks Desktop won't calculate your payroll taxes or provide payroll tax forms. You must manually calculate your payroll tax figures and enter them for each paycheck. You may use our free online Paycheck Calculator.
