My Reactivate Subscription won't update.

When I go to click Reactivate Subscription and sign in there's nothing to reactivate? I'm not sure what else to do. I've checked the cards, and none that we are using currently are expired. No matter how many times I check or click the reactivate it doesn't go away.

My Reactivate Subscription won't update.

I appreciate your effort in providing the screenshot to help isolate the issue, noemii.

To remove the Reactivate Subscription icon on your screen, it depends on your QuickBooks Desktop Payroll subscription.

 

If you're using QuickBooks Desktop Assisted, I suggest contacting our Payroll support team. They have the tools that can check your account internally and guide you in solving your concerns.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Help tab at the top menu bar and select QuickBooks Desktop Help,
  2. Choose Contact Us and enter the necessary information.
  3. Press Get a callback.

 

However, if you're using QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Enhanced or Basic, please follow these steps:

 

  1. In your QuickBooks Desktop company file, go to Employees and select My Payroll Service.
  2. Click Account/Billing Info.Capture MOOOOOO.PNG
  3. Sign in using your Intuit Account loginand then your QuickBooks Account page will open.
  4. Under Status, choose Resubscribe.
  5. Follow the on-screen steps to reactivate your payroll service.

 

If the status of your payroll subscription is active, we need to validate your service key by following the steps below:

 

  1. Close all your company files and restart your computer.
  2. Open QuickBooks, go to Employees, select My Payroll Service, then Manage Service Key.
  3. Your Service Name and Status should be correct and will show as Active.
  4. Select Edit and verify the service key number. If incorrect, enter the correct service key.
  5. Select Next, uncheck the Open Payroll Setup box, then select Finish.

 

Alternatively, I've included these resources that will guide you through running employee wages and their pay schedules:

Do you need to reactivate QB Desktop or QB Desktop Payroll (Enhanced Payroll)?

I appreciate you letting us know about your situation, Rob.
 

To confirm, are you using the QBDT Payroll Assisted? If so, I recommend contacting our Payroll Assisted Team. They're the authorized personnel who can reactivate your account under this plan.
 

On the other hand, if you're using QBDT Payroll Enhanced or Basic subscriptions, have you already tried the steps provided by my colleague above? If yes, I recommend using the alternative way of the reactivation process: 

 

  1. Log in to your Intuit account through this link: Intuit Accounts - Sign In.
  2. Under Status, select Resubscribe.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to reactivate your payroll plan.

 

It's essential to note that you must have a supported QBDT version (2023 and 2024) to renew your payroll service successfully.

 

The reactivation takes up to 24 hours. Once the overall processing is complete, your subscription will show as Active. For more information about this topic, check out this article: Reactivate your payroll subscription.

 

If the issue persists, I suggest contacting our Payroll Support Team so they can investigate your inability to reactivate your payroll service accordingly.

 

Once you have follow-up questions, kindly revisit this thread.
