Thank you for the info. You have made it very clear on how to downgrade but first I want to understand if I even should. Is there another article you can point me in the right direction? I am guessing it was my accountant who had me initially sign up for Full Service. What will it entail on my end as the main user for when operating within Enhanced vs Full Service?

Thank you.

Thank you for your help. I see now HOW to downgrade but before I do I want to be sure this is the best decision for myself and my small business. I am guessing the initial reason I went with Full Service was a recommendation by my accountant. If I downgrade what will be the day to day differences I will see as the main user? My only concern would be having access to my account if the payments are not scheduled on a consistent basis. Right now when I receive the confirmation receipt emails it seems at times there is no schedule. I would want to know the schedule so I could know when I needed to log into my account to make the payments. Is this all that would really change on my end? Thank you.

Hi there, carleighakrug.

Thanks for providing more information about our concern. Allow me to share additional insights about the effects of downgrading from Full Service Payroll to QuickBooks Online Enhanced.

In Full Service Payroll, you don't have to worry about filing tax forms on time because Intuit will process it for you. While in QBO Enhanced, you'll need to process the forms by yourself.
