It won’t let me add payroll to my account

Hello there. I'd be glad to help you guide on how to add a payroll subscription to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.

 

Before we begin, could you please tell me which menu or button you were using when the payroll subscription wouldn't let you add? If you encountered any error messages, could you share what they are? I want to ensure I provide you with the most helpful steps or targeted solutions.

 

Let's log in to QuickBooks using a supported web browser or try accessing your account in a new incognito window to add a payroll subscription. Here's how to do it:

 

  1. Open your QBO account in the new incognito window or other QuickBooks-supported browsers.
  2. Head to the All apps menu.
  3. Go to the Payroll section on the left-side menu of your QuickBooks dashboard. 
  4. Scroll down to choose a plan that fits your business needs.

 

If the button is grayed out, ensure you are the Primary Admin. Standard users or custom users often don't have permissions to change subscription levels.

 

We're happy to answer any follow-up questions you may have.
