I just purchased QB Enterprise and Enhanced Payroll. I have two small separate companies set up. Do I need to purchase a separate payroll subscription for both of them? Or can I use the same subscription service key for both of them? They have separate EIN's. 

 

Thank you,

You can manage payroll for up to 3 different EINs with one license. 

How many user licenses do you have? If you only need 10 users or less, having QB Desktop Accountant Plus + a third-party payroll app will be cheaper than QB Desktop Enterprise Gold.

You can effectively manage your company's payroll information with your subscription, ELM. I'll provide details below. 

 

You can use one payroll subscription to handle payroll for different companies, even if they have different Employer Identification Numbers (EINs). Each QuickBooks Desktop Payroll service lets you add up to three EINs. If you have the Enhanced for Accountant Payroll service, you can add as many as 50 EINs.

 

Please note that each EIN can only be linked to one company file. If you try to create more than one company file with the same EIN, it could cause errors in your payroll processing. 

 

You can read through this article for more information: Add a new company to your payroll subscription.

 

If you want to learn how to set up your new QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced, this guide will provide you info: Get started with QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced.

 

Furthermore, QuickBooks provides various payroll reports that offer detailed information about employee gross pay, deductions, and tax data. You can refer to this article to learn how to access them: Run payroll reports. 

 

Consider me your ongoing support if you have any other payroll concerns. Assistance is just a post away.

I only have two employees for the 2nd company and at most, seven employees for the primary account. Is there a less expensive subscription that can be used? 

 

Thanks,

You can efficiently manage both your company's payroll data using your subscription, @ELM. Let me share some valuable information about this.

 

QuickBooks Desktop Enhanced Payroll allows you to manage up to 50 Employer Identification Numbers (EINs). You can also add another company file to your subscription if it hasn't used QBDT Payroll before. If it has, please contact our customer care team for a service key. 

 

To add your company file, here's how:
 

  1. Go to Employees menu, then Payroll.
  2. Select Use My Existing Payroll Services.
  3. Select Add File from the Account Maintenance window.
  4. After that, navigate to the Add to Subscription Number radio button. Please note that if this option isn't available a payroll service has already been validated in the company file.
  5. You can choose the Other: I have an existing subscription, if your subscription isn't listed.
  6. Once done, input your subscription number and Zip Code.
  7. Select Next twice, then Print or Return to QuickBooks.
     

For more information, you can read this article: Add a new company to your payroll subscription.

 

I'll also include these articles you can read if you need guidance in managing your payroll e-filing in QuickBooks:

You may explore QB Desktop Accountant Plus + a 3rd party payroll app. You can still request a refund for your QB Desktop Enterprise license within 60 days if necessary.

Thanks for your response. Just to clarify.- I have two companies. I already have a payroll service key. Can I use that service key for both companies? Both companies have separate EIN numbers and are set up accordingly.

 

Thank you,
