Purchased QuickBooks Online, but need to use QuickBooks Desktop for Payroll until accounts are switched. Error message says Account Inactive.

Login to CAMPS and check your license status. Make sure the license of your QB Desktop and Enhanced Payroll are Active. Another option, you don't need to resubscribe and you can use the trial version as a workaround.

Thank you for the detailed information, @CampingIsLife. Allow me to provide information about the error you've received stating that your account is inactive. 

Firstly, updating your QuickBooks Desktop and downloading the latest payroll tax table might be helpful. Keeping these updated will help solve the issue you're experiencing with the inactive status displayed in the payroll center, which may be due to outdated information. Here are the steps to download the latest payroll tax table:

1. Go to the Employees menu and choose Get Payroll Updates.
2. Click on the Download Entire Update checkbox.
3. Select Download Latest Update. A window will appear to inform you when the download is complete.
