Are you switching to QuickBooks from another payroll software?

If you’re moving your payroll from another software to QuickBooks Online Core Payroll and have recorded CIS deductions in the past, you’ll need to manually add these. Please note that you can only add amounts for one tax year at a time, starting from 2023 onwards.
