Hello there, @WSInc.

Let me share information about the Desktop Payroll subscription that is going to be discontinued in May.

I understand you have paid for an annual subscription to Payroll. However, the QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2021 will be discontinued. With that, you have the option to upgrade to the latest version QBDT 2024. Otherwise, you can also check our QuickBooks Online (QBO) plans.

Here is a link you can click for the available plans: QuickBooks Plans & Pricing.

Don't worry about the unused number of days that you have paid. You will receive a pro-rated refund amount.

If you decide to move from QBDT to QBO, you can read these articles to help you migrate your data:

• Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online.
• Learn how features and data move from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.
• Fix errors when you move from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

Let me know if you have questions about the QBDT Payroll subscription. I'm always here to help. Have a great day.

As per Gusto, their app does integrate with QB Desktop.
