Details
Enhanced Payroll helps you manage everything in-house

Automatically calculate payroll taxes and deductions based on the data you enter

Enter your employee information once, and QuickBooks will use the information each payday to automatically calculate deductions and prepare paychecks to print. You can spend less time on payroll and minimize tax filing hassles. Or, you could let us handle all your payroll tax filings and payments — QuickBooks Assisted Payroll will deposit and file your payroll taxes and forms for you.

Quickly download the latest state and federal payroll tax tables and forms, and automatically fill them in with QuickBooks data — you just print, sign, and mail

Download the most up-to-date tax tables and forms into QuickBooks — automatically


Every 45 days, QuickBooks automatically prompts you to download the most current tax tables, helping you keep your payroll accurate and up-to-date. QuickBooks Payroll's team of compliance professionals works with federal and state tax authorities to monitor changes and make the necessary updates during the course of a year.

Or, get the protection of our "No Penalties" Guarantee through QuickBooks Assisted Payroll. As long as the information you provide to us is on time and accurate and your account is sufficiently funded, your payroll tax deposits and tax filings will be on time and accurate — or we'll pay the resulting tax penalty.

Just print, sign, and mail tax filings

Prepare your tax filings in less time. QuickBooks compiles the payroll data for your 940/Schedule A, 941/Schedule B, 943/943A, W-2, W-3, 1099-MISC, and 1096 forms and carries your data directly into your quarterly federal filings, so you can print signature-ready federal forms 3 . Plus, Enhanced Payroll can fill out state tax forms for more than 40 states. All you have to do is print, sign, and mail.

Or, you could let us handle all your payroll tax filings and payments — QuickBooks Assisted Payroll will deposit and file your payroll taxes and forms for you.

E-File and Pay your payroll taxes and forms at no additional charge (requires QuickBooks 2007 or higher)

Electronic file and electronic pay (E-File & Pay) is an easy and convenient way to make your payroll tax filings and payments. With E-File, you can submit your federal and state forms with a few clicks — no more printing and mailing. And E-Pay lets you avoid double entry and inconvenient trips to the bank — simply make your federal and state payroll tax payments directly from the QuickBooks Payroll Center. You can set up payments in advance and funds won't be withdrawn by the government agency until the date you specify. Confirmations are recorded directly in QuickBooks.

Track Workers' Compensation rates and deductions1

Keeping track of Workers' Compensation can be very time consuming. And if you don't accurately track the codes and rates for each employee, you could end up paying more than you should. QuickBooks Payroll helps you set up and apply the right codes, so you can generate accurate, detailed reports of exactly how much you owe. Great for contractors!

Calculate net-to-gross amounts for bonuses and commissions in just one step

We help you avoid the time-consuming, trial-and-error approach to performing net-to-gross calculations. QuickBooks instantly determines the gross amount needed to match a determined net amount, in one easy step.

Run customized payroll reports from QuickBooks anytime you like

Run reports to see how payroll affects your bottom line. QuickBooks Payroll offers customizable summary-level and detail-level reports. You can even use payroll data for more accurate job costing analysis.

You can process your payroll more efficiently

Run payroll in just a few mouse clicks: simply enter hours and you're ready to go.

Create and print paychecks from your own PC in minutes
Just set up your payroll in QuickBooks, enter your employees' hours (if applicable), and then print your paychecks. QuickBooks stores your payroll data and automatically retrieves it each time you run payroll. You can also use optional built-in Direct Deposit to make paydays a breeze.

Enter all employees' hours from a single screen to help save time and eliminate hassles
Using the Pay Employees workflow (requires QuickBooks 2007 or higher) or Rapid Time Entry (QuickBooks 2006 or higher), you can enter all employee hours quickly and accurately on a single screen, rather than on individual screens. You can streamline your payroll process, minimize the hassle, and finish your payroll in a fraction of the time.

Offer Direct Deposit to your employees and schedule deposits up to 45 days in advance

With optional Direct Deposit, you don't need to be in the office on payday. If you're away on business or enjoying a vacation, employees can still get paid. QuickBooks Direct Deposit will deposit your employees' pay into their accounts — no matter where you are on payday. Plus, employees don't have to run to the bank to deposit their paychecks. (Additional fees apply.)

Back to Top

Manage all your payroll activities from a single screen

The Payroll Center (requires QuickBooks 2006 or higher) simplifies payroll management by letting you handle all payroll activities — from paying employees, taxes, and liabilities, to filing tax forms and tracking payroll expenses — all from one at-a-glance screen.

The Payroll Center lets you see an end-to-end view of your most important payroll tasks and quickly check due dates for your payroll schedule, including when to pay your taxes, who to pay, and how much. Everything is available with one-click access.

Enhanced Payroll makes the rest easy

Works within QuickBooks financial software, so there's nothing new to learn and no double data entry

Works within QuickBooks financial software – so it's easy to use
All QuickBooks Payroll services work within your existing QuickBooks software, so there is nothing new to learn.

All payroll data is in QuickBooks, so you don't need to re-enter data manually
Every time you get a report from ADP or Paychex, or calculate payroll in Excel, you have to manually re-enter the data into QuickBooks. Why waste time? With QuickBooks Payroll, your data is already integrated. That means no double data entry and fewer chances for data-entry errors. QuickBooks Payroll offers an easy, all-in-one solution for managing both your business finances and your payroll.

Share data easily with your accountant

It's simple to share your QuickBooks company financial and payroll data file with your accountant. And your accountant can run reports and make adjustments for you, without ever leaving the office. Just e-mail your company file to your accountant or give them remote access to your file via their QuickBooks Accountant Edition software.

Get set up quickly with step-by-step guidance

Easy to switch, easy to learn. Once you've signed up, QuickBooks Payroll guides you step-by-step through payroll setup. You'll enter your employees' payroll information, your company's tax information, and your year-to-date payroll amounts. You only need to enter this information once — QuickBooks remembers it each time you run payroll. You can easily add employees or update an employee's information at any time.
