I am a sole proprietor using Quicken self employed. I am looking at hiring my first employee. Does quicken software handle accounting and payroll?

Quicken or QuickBooks?

It's a pleasure to have you here today, buttersbarkery. We'll provide an overview of how QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) works.

Before anything else, know that Quicken and QuickBooks are two different software. QBSE, on the other hand, can help you record your business's income and expenses, track mileage, and prepare Schedule C tax forms. However, the option to add employees and manage payroll tasks is unavailable inside the program. For more details, refer to this page: Overview of QuickBooks Self-Employed.

You can check out QuickBooks Online (QBO), which allows you to manage employees, accounting, and payroll tasks. Feel free to visit this article: Get started with QuickBooks Online.

Moreover, here's an article to help you handle monthly billing and subscription inside the program: Update your billing and subscription info in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

Thank you for your help! When I go to look at quickbook online it only gives me the option for both accounting and payroll in Britain not the US. In the US it looks like you have to purchase Quickbooks online payroll and Quickbooks online?

Can you purchase 1 that will run both without having to subscribe to two separate types of Quickbooks?  Also I cannot find anything showing if figures and handles taxes for employees paycheck etc.
