Let me share some information, @wendyqme.

 

You can't keep the QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus and QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll since they're the same version. As long as your QBDT is still supported, you can use the payroll and download the latest tax table.

 

If you want to upgrade to QBDT Enhanced payroll 2022, you'll also need to update the QBDT Pro Plus version to 2022. On the other hand, all the data from your 2021 version will be transferred into the 2022 version.

 

I'm also adding this link to learn more about upgrading your QBDT file: Upgrade your company files after you switch to a new version of QuickBooks Desktop.

 

To become more familiar with the features of the latest QuickBooks version 2022, feel free to read through this article: 

 

 

I'll be right here to help if you need further assistance in upgrading your QBDT files and program. Have a nice day, @wendyqme.

Now I am really confused. I have QB desktop pro plus subscription with payroll enhanced 2021. I was notified by Intuit that an auto upgrade to 2022 will happen in a couple weeks(a year from when I installed 2021), but I believe the 2021 version is supported for 3 years still. If I don't upgrade and stay with 2021 and just do payroll updates as I understand you suggested, will QB have updated quarterly and year end tax forms for 2022?

Hi there, wendyqme.

 

Both QuickBooks Desktop and the Payroll service you have needs to be on the same version. This way, there will be no compatibility issues in the long run. We support the QuickBooks Desktop version you currently have and there's no need for you to upgrade your payroll service to have an updated payroll tax table. As long as you keep updating the system and the payroll tax table to its latest release, you'll have the quarterly and year-end tax forms for 2022 updated as well.

 

You'll want to check out this page where you can view articles that will help you prepare your year-end taxes: QuickBooks Desktop Year-End Prep and Resources.

 

If you have any other questions about the QuickBooks or Payroll subscription, please let me know by adding a comment below. I'm more than happy to help. Have a good one!

From your post I understand that if I keep using my Desktop Pro Plus Subscription 2021, I will not have any problems in the future for 2 more years with payroll and tax forms. I purchased the disk last year and the packaging  does say 1 year subscription included.

Another user posted this: "If you purchased QuickBooks and payroll as a bundle (which I did), then I think you'll start paying a service fee for payroll a year after activating it. Or something like that." Is this true, since I am using desktop and not using the Intuit payroll service, would there be a service fee for payroll since I do all payroll and tax filing myself?

I am a one person small business and am trying to avoid paying $700+ every year to upgrade. I removed my cc info so Intuit would not automatically charge my card since I usually purchase the bundled disk. Also, this is the email I received from Intuit regarding upgrading, and I need to know if I must renew, (or purchase the 2022 bundle disk) to avoid interruption:

avoid cancelation of your QuickBooks subscription
To avoid interruption after your renewal date of Nov 13, 2021 enter payment details.

Yes, you can keep using QuickBooks 2021 for both accounting and payroll. The Payroll updates will continue to be delivered until QuickBooks 2021 support is removed, about three years from now. So, you'll continue to receive payroll tax calculation updates as well as updated tax forms when using QuickBooks 2021.

 

If you purchased QuickBooks and payroll as a bundle, then I think you'll start paying a service fee for payroll a year after activating it. Or something like that.

Where can I purchase an affordable just the enhanced payroll for my 2021 Quickbooks pro plus?  I can't afford the 649. charge every year for the upgrade to 2022.  Don't understand why it has doubled in price.  Thanks
