Can I still do Payroll while Overseas

Thanks for posting here, @cjoy,


Normally, the requirements for payroll processing in QBDT is a good internet connection and the time zone is set up correctly according to your location in USA. However, we want to make sure there aren't any interruption to the process so I recommend consulting our Support Team for this. 

Our representatives can confirm if Desktop Payroll will allow you to process a pay run outside USA.

 

To get a support specialist, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Open QuickBooks and click the Help menu.
  2. Select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
  3. On the pop-up screen select Contact us.
  4. Click the Search for Something else button then type your concern in the Ask us anything box.
  5. Hit Search then scroll down to get your contact options.

 

Refer to this article to learn more about our contact options and support availability: Contact QuickBooks Desktop support

 

Another option if you're using Direct Deposit is processing the payroll in advance. You can create a pay run 45 days before the check date in QuickBooks.

 

A hosting service will also work, so you can remotely access your PC while you're away from your desk. We have an app website where you can find hosting tools to help you. See this: Apps for QuickBooks Desktop 

 

We also have a separate forum called Intuit Developers, where you can find engineers who can help recommend third-party hosting applications to use. Click this link to our website: Intuit Developers Community.

 

Kindly post an update here after calling our support. I want to make sure this is taken care of and I'll be right here if you need further help with anything in QuickBooks Desktop. Have a nice day!
