If you have QuickBoks Workforce Elite, you can opt to have one of our experts set up payroll with you, or do it for you. Be sure to check out the Expert setup section if you need to call or schedule an appointment.
Once you're ready to continue:
Click Get started.
Specify if you (or someone else) paid employees in the current year.
Choose a date for when you want to start paying employees through QuickBooks.
Enter your main business address. This must be a physical address, not a PO Box. The work location determines tax responsibilities. If you have multiple work locations, you can add those later when adding employees.
Enter the main payroll contact details.
Explain how you've ran payroll in the past. Depending on your answer, you may be able to import employee and pay history info instead of entering it manually.
Now you can start adding employees.
If you haven't paid any of your employees this year, you can opt to pay them now by paper check if needed. Or you can continue the setup and finish the remaining tasks.
