Details

Do I have to choose and pay for a payroll option?

To receive current payroll updates and have your payroll tax withholdings calculated automatically in QuickBooks, you must choose one of the following options: QuickBooks Basic Payroll, QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll, or QuickBooks Assisted Payroll.
We recommend that you keep an active payroll subscription at all times to receive payroll updates, as changes to payroll regulations occur throughout the year.

Can I change my mind about the payroll option later?

Yes, you may change which service you use at any time.
To change your payroll service option in QuickBooks:
  • Choose Employees > Add/Change Payroll Service.

Is the Tax Table Service still available?

The Tax Table Service has been replaced by QuickBooks Basic Payroll and QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll in QuickBooks. QuickBooks Basic Payroll and QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll provide the same tax table and form updates previously available from the Tax Table Service.
If you have a Tax Table Service subscription, you can apply your remaining subscription balance toward a subscription to QuickBooks Basic or QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll.

To switch from Tax Table Service to QuickBooks Basic or QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll:
  1. Choose Employees > Payroll > Order Payroll Service.
  2. Select QuickBooks Basic Payroll or QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll, then click Continue.
  3. Follow the instructions to sign up for QuickBooks Basic Payroll or QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll.
