Hello there, @jamarwhite382-gm.
Definitely, you'll have to use other plans in order to issue payroll and 1099 to your employees and/or contractors.
QuickBooks Self-Employed is designed for Independent Contractors, while Simple Start is for Small Businesses and we are unable to set up and use payroll in it.
You may review the different QuickBooks Online plans to choose the best one for you. Then, you can convert your QuickBooks Self-Employed account to QuickBooks Online if you want to transfer subscriptions. Just a heads up: we won't be able to return to QuickBooks Self-Employed once we've converted the account.
After conversion, here's how to turn on payroll:
- Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
- Under the Workers (Payroll) menu, select Employees.
- Tap Get started and choose the payroll service of your choice.
You can also check out the get started with payroll guide to successfully set up and use our payroll service.
I'm always ready to help if you have other questions about your concerns or with QuickBooks. Just leave your reply on the comment box. Have a good one!
