QBO Payroll Contractor Pricing

Hi! I have quickbooks online plus and quickbooks online payroll core. We have one employee that we pay through quickbooks and we are looking to pay our 10+ contractors with quickbooks as well. I have the following questions about this potential upgrade: 

 

1. How much it would cost per contractor per month for direct deposit?

2. Am I charged every month for every contractor we have set up, or only if I pay the contractor in that billing month? 

3. Am I charged per contractor that I have direct deposit enabled for, or for every vendor that I turn in 1099 tracking for?

 

Thanks so much!

We appreciate you for raising these questions here, @ACK Accounting.

 

Since you have one employee aside from planning to pay 10+ contractors, you can continue to utilize QuickBooks Online Payroll Core because it can process both types of workers. You can also process an unlimited number of contractors in this subscription.

 

To answer your questions, you can read it below:

 

  1. There's a $5 cost per contractor paid each month for direct deposit. Please note that the price may change due to updates, promotions, or other adjustments. You can check it in this link: QuickBooks Payroll Core and Contractor Payments plan and pricing.
  2. You are only charged for contractors processed via direct deposit within that billing month.
  3. The charge is based on the contractors you paid via direct deposit. This doesn't apply even if you enable 1099 tracking or have them set up in your system. Fees are only shown for 1099 once QuickBooks prints and mails a copy to your contractors or vendors after e-filing.

 

Don't hesitate to return here if you have additional questions, so we can assist you as soon as possible.
