    Remove payroll service key in QuickBooks

    Article ID: 1000005

    Overview

    To remove the payroll subscription from a company file, you need to remove the service key from the compay file. This process will turn off the features of the payroll subscription in the company file but will not cancel the payroll subscription.

    Assumptions

    You must have a current payroll subscription in QuickBooks.

    Expected Outcome

    You can remove a payroll subscription from QuickBooks which will remove the company EIN from your payroll service.

    Details

    If you have either Direct Deposit or the Assisted Payroll service, do not perform this procedure. You will not be able to transmit payroll data.

    Hi Jesus,

    I'm an Intuit employee and I saw your comment. Since you will no longer process payroll, you would need to cancel your QuickBooks Payroll subsription. The article Cancel Standard, Enhanced, or Basic payroll service has the instructions on how to cancel your payroll service. I hope this helps. Thank you for posting a comment.
