Hello, Karen. 

 

Thank you for choosing QuickBooks as your accounting software. Our mission is to provide you with a comprehensive range of features that can help you streamline your accounting tasks. One of our most popular features is the ability to use a single payroll subscription to process payroll.

 

This means that you can easily manage your payroll tasks without having to purchase additional subscriptions. QuickBooks also offers customizable payroll options, which allow you to set up payroll to your specific needs. You can automate payroll calculations, tax filings, and payments, which saves you time and money. 

 

With that said, let me explain how the three subscriptions work and their features. The QuickBooks Payroll Annual Fee Enhanced service offers basic payroll features, such as calculating paychecks and taxes, paying employees via direct deposit or check, and filing and paying taxes. This service is designed for businesses that have simple payroll needs and do not require advanced features. 

 

The QuickBooks Plus Annual Subscription Pro, on the other hand, is a software that offers more comprehensive accounting and payroll features. It includes all the features of the Annual Fee Enhanced service, as well as additional accounting features such as creating and sending invoices, tracking expenses, and managing bills.

 

Finally, the Enhanced Payroll Plus is a more advanced service that includes all the features of the Annual Fee Enhanced service, plus additional features such as the ability to file and pay taxes electronically. It also includes features such as the ability to create custom reports and track employee time off. This service is designed for businesses that have more complex payroll needs and require advanced features to manage their payroll effectively.

 

After choosing the subscription that fits your business, if you need help running payroll and checking your liabilities, we have some helpful articles you can refer to. These articles provide step-by-step instructions on how to run payroll and check your liabilities in QuickBooks:

How much do you pay for those 3 products?

Do you only need to use QB Desktop Pro Plus for single user or more?

After reading your answer, I am confused. if the QuickBooks payroll annual subscription enhanced covers payroll, then why do I also need the QuickBooks plus annual subscription pro? I guess the other person who posted the question it doesn’t make a lot of sense to have multiple subscriptions. Can you make the answer clearer?

Hi there, jackpotconcrete.

 

Allow me to join the thread and provide information about QuickBooks subscription.

 

The QuickBooks Payroll Annual Subscription Enhanced covers payroll processing, including paying employees and filing payroll taxes. On the other hand, the QuickBooks Plus Annual Subscription provides additional features such as tracking income and expenses, creating and sending invoices, managing bills, and tracking inventory. If you require these additional accounting features alongside your payroll processing, then the QuickBooks Plus Annual Subscription would be beneficial for your business.

 

For more details about the plans and pricing including their features, see this site: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/desktop/.

 

If you have further questions, let me know by commenting below. I'll be more than happy to answer them for you.

QB Desktop Payroll is an add-on for QB Desktop Pro/Premier/Mac. You can't use it as a stand-alone program. If you are using QB Desktop Enterprise, you don't need to use QB Desktop Payroll.
