Hello there, @BellFinance. I'm here to share some information about your concern about payroll.
Yes, you're allowed to downgrade your payroll subscription. However, please note that each subscription tier offers different features, so it's important to consider what functionalities you'll need moving forward. For more guidance, please refer to this article to find the right payroll plan for you: QuickBooks Payroll.
Furthermore, both options you mentioned are viable. However, given your concerns about managing the payroll setup initially, I recommend subscribing to Payroll Elite. This will allow you to take advantage of the Expert Setup add-on, where a QuickBooks Payroll expert can assist you in setting up your payroll system and ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Once you feel comfortable with the payroll processes and everything is functioning correctly, you can then choose to downgrade to Payroll Core. For a smooth transition, it's best to contact our payroll support team directly for personalized assistance with the downgrade process.
Additionally, to help you get started and familiarize yourself with QuickBooks Online, please check out these resources:
