Reactivate Subscription

Hello there, @RGMM.

There are several reasons why you're getting a "Reactivate Payroll Subscription" notice in QuickBooks.

Here are some:

• QuickBooks is not updated.
• If the automatic renewal isn't successful, or the credit card or bank account on file is outdated.
• Intuit is having trouble getting authorization for your payroll charges.
• The payroll tax table isn't updated.

Take a look at this article to know more about the Payroll subscription alerts and how to fix them: Update or Renew Your Subscription.

Also, make sure your QuickBooks software is updated to the latest release. Once done, let's run a payroll update to refresh your payroll settings. Follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Employees menu.
2. Choose Get Payroll Updates.
3. Mark the Download Entire Update checkbox
4. Select Download Latest Update.
5. A window appears when the download is complete.

Besides, you can also check the status of your account in CAMPS: What are CAMPs and how do I use it?

Let me know how it goes by dropping a comment below. I'm always here to help. Take care!

I did received a receipt for my renewal from Intuit/Quickbooks. My credit card is good

I did everything that was recommended.  Still activation.

Everything shows Active, still not luck.  Still get the Reactivate Subscription I Con on my screen under the employee section.

NEED HELP!!  Thanks.

I appreciate you for sharing the results, RGMM.

Since your payroll still shows inactive, let's re-enter the service key in QuickBooks. This way, it'll initiate a new connection and reactivate your subscription.

Here's how:

1. From the Employees menu, select My Payroll Service.
2. Choose Manage Service Key.
3. Find and select the service key.
4. Select Remove.
5. Click Yes on the prompt message.
6. Click Add.
7. Re-type your active payroll service key, select Next.
8. Re-enter your disk delivery key, select Next.
9. Select Finish.
10. Click OK

Here's an article you can read to learn more: Enter Your Payroll Service or Disk Delivery Key.

I'm also adding a reference for ideas about managing your future payroll tasks: Employees and Payroll Taxes.

It says I will remove my subscription, not my service key.  Is that that the same thing?  

This did not work, still won't calculate taxes.  Any other suggestions?? 

Still shows active, paid, but still asking to renew.

Hey there, RGMM.

Thanks for trying out the steps provided by my colleagues, and for following up on this thread with the results. I want to make sure everything is squared away with your Desktop Enhanced Payroll subscription.

Since the troubleshooting methods provided didn't do the trick and the message to renew is persisting, I recommend reaching out to the Desktop Support Team. Agents have specialized tools, such as screen-sharing, to take a closer look at your account and subscription details to determine what's causing the issue. Here's how to get in touch with the team:

1. Press the F1 key on your keyboard.

2. Select Contact Us.

3. Enter Support in the field and click Continue.

4. From here you can message an agent.

I have already tried this several times with no response.    I am going in circles now.  Getting tired of it!

Any other suggestions to actually fix the issue?

MY CARD WAS CHARGED BUT MY COMPUTER SAYS SUBSCRIPTION NEEDS TO BE REACTIVATED

Hi Pierce20101!

Thanks for joining us here. Allow me to help you in reactivating your payroll subscription.

The first thing I'd like you to make sure of is that you updated both QuickBooks Desktop and the payroll tax table.

The most possible reason why your subscription is still showing as inactive is that the update doesn't sync into your QuickBooks Desktop. We can reenter your service key to fix it. Follow these steps:

1. Go to the Employees menu, select My Payroll Service, and choose Manage Service Key.
2. Find and select the service key, then click Remove.
3. Click Yes on the prompt message.
4. Tap Add and re-type your active payroll service key, then select Next.
5. Re-enter your disk delivery key, select Next.
6. Select Finish, then OK.

Please check this link: Resolve a problem verifying your payroll subscription. This will give you more info on handling subscription issues.

so i have alo read the entire thead and tried all the steps d suggestions and nothing will update.

i still have an active "reactivate subscription" icon and i have verified, updated payments, literally done all the removing and adding key. turned off computer and nothing works.  Everything says, active and updated but when i go to print payroll the tax withholdings are zero.  what do i do??  please help. I cant get ahold of anyone.

I appreciate the time you've spent taking the steps provided on this thread, Shawnalee.

I'll walk you through some more steps to assist you to fix this so you can go back to working on your payroll and QuickBooks.

Before we start, please ensure you have the latest QuickBooks Desktop release and tax table update. Some information won't immediately sync if you have finished payroll before downloading a payroll update or updating your payroll subscription.

Since you're seeing active and updated on your end, let's revert the paycheck if you already have completed your payroll. I'll show you how.

1. Go to Employees, then select Pay Employees
2. Choose either Scheduled Payroll or Unscheduled payroll.
3. (Skip to step 3 if you need to run an unscheduled payroll) Select Resume Scheduled Payroll.
4. Right-click on the employee name you wish to undo the changes.
5. Hit Revert Paychecks.

Feel free to read this article for more details: Save or revert pending payroll checks.

If the issue persists, I suggest contacting our Payroll Support Team. They'll be able to pull up your account and further investigate what's causing this. Please follow the steps shared by my colleague above to reach them.

In addition, I'm adding this resource to learn about fixing an employee's paychecks for future reference: Delete or void employee paychecks.
