Standalone Payroll Options

I wcurrently use QB Desktop Pro 2021.   As I've been advised, my Intuit Enhanced Payroll subscription (just paid $689 in February!) will no longer work after May.   Rather than incur the expense of updating to a QB 2024 subscription, it has been suggested that I can continue to use my 2021 version forever by utilizing a standalone service or software.   Does anyone have ideas what would be easy to use and hopefully integrate with Quickbooks?   We only have two employees, all others are 1099s.   Thank you.

Standalone Payroll Options

A stand alone payroll app won't integrate with QB Desktop. You have to register your payroll expenses manually in QB Desktop. One payroll app costs $190 per year + $30/year/employee.

Standalone Payroll Options

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:

 

 

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