I cancelled my enhanced payroll intending to do payroll manually. How do I set this up?

Greetings, @UCC136.

Welcome to the Community. Let me help you run a payroll manually.

Before you can manually run payroll, you need to update your version of QuickBooks. Once done, you need to enable payroll inside your QuickBooks settings. Let me show you how:

1. Select Preferences from the Edit dropdown menu.
2. Select Payroll & Employees, then go to the Company Preferences tab.
3. In the QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Features section, select the Full payroll and the Manual Payroll checkboxes.
4. Select Next in the Get payday peace of mind window.
5. Select then Activate in the confirmation screen.
6. Select OK to apply the changes.
7. Select OK to exit out.

There you go! You should be able to run your payroll manually.

I'm always here to assist you if you have further questions. Have a wonderful day!

I need to cancel QB totally - I never can get support even when the QB program is not working :-(

Let me help cancel your QuickBooks subscription, I cannot print w-2.

I want to make the process as easy as possible for you. Let's start by logging in to your Intuit account and cancel the subscription from there. 

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Log into the Customer Account Management Portal (CAMPs), your Intuit account.
2. Choose QuickBooks Desktop.
3. From the Products & Services area, find your subscription or service, then click Details
4. Verify this is the product or service you no longer need, then select Cancel Service under the active status.
5. Please let us know why you are leaving so we can improve our services. After providing any details (optional), click Continue to cancel.
6. Confirm your cancelation by selecting Cancel Now.
7. You will see a confirmation message as well as receive an email.  
    

If your subscription includes payroll, please browse this link for instructions: Cancel your payroll subscription.

If you’re within the 60-day money back guarantee period and your product was purchased directly from Intuit, you’ll automatically receive a refund for the full purchase price of your subscription. Please see QuickBooks Desktop cancelation policies for more information.

If you're unable to access your Intuit account, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Desktop Team. They can cancel your plan in a secure environment. 

Here's how to get in touch with them:

1. Go to this link: Contact Us.
2. Choose QuickBooks Desktop from the list, then Continue.
   
3. Follow onscreen instructions to contact our Support Team.
    

I'm adding this link for additional contact details: QuickBooks Desktop support.

If you're using QuickBooks Online, you can use this link for the detailed steps: Cancel your QuickBooks Online subscription or trial

Stay in touch with me by leaving a comment below on how the contact goes. I'll be around whenever you have follow-up questions about cancelling your subscription.

I use QB Desktop Pro 2019 and cancelled my basic payroll subscription last month.  I want to revert to processing payroll manually.  When I navigate to the company preferences for Payroll & Employees, the checkbox for Manual Payroll is greyed out.  I ran a QuickBooks update but there were no updates.  How can i revert to manual payroll processing?
