- When the confirmation: "Are you sure you want to cancel your Employment Regulations Update Subscription? If you click on yes, you will turn off all features of this service for [company name] in the QuickBooks program." appears, click Yes.
- The message "Your subscription has been cancelled." appears. Repeat the same steps to remove the Employer Organizer.
- After you remove BOTH the Employee Organizer and the Regulations Update from your QuickBooks company file, close and reopen QuickBooks.
- Once re-opened, re-enter the two services:
- Choose Employees > My Payroll Service > Manage Service Key.
- On the Manager Service Key window, click Add.
- When prompted, enter the Service Key for Employer Organizer.
- Click Next then Finish.
