Hi there, temple. You can upgrade your subscription to include payroll directly within QuickBooks Online. This allows you to add payroll features to your existing account without creating a new one.
To do this, go to the Gear icon, select Subscriptions and billing, then choose Upgrade your plan and select a payroll option that fits your needs. Once completed, payroll features will be added to your account.
For more details, you can refer to this article: Upgrade or downgrade your QuickBooks Online subscription.
