Thanks for choosing QuickBooks Desktop Payroll in managing your payroll transactions, satC.
A QuickBooks Payroll Service is a subscription you activate to enable the payroll features in your QuickBooks Desktop software. The payroll service is intended for QuickBooks Desktop (QuickBooks Pro/Premier or Enterprise) users. Depending on the features you need, just choose from Basic, Enhanced or Assisted Payroll. You can also go to this website for the plans and pricing: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/payroll/desktop/.
Also, QuickBooks Payroll service does not work with QuickBooks Mac version and Mac users use Intuit Online Payroll as their payroll add-on. As a standalone software, Intuit Online Payroll only exports transactions to QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online (without QuickBooks Online Payroll). To learn more about this one, see the QuickBooks Payroll Services and Features for QuickBooks Desktop article.
