Hi there, @dsharick.
Thank you for posting in the Community. I'd be glad to help you today.
You can use QuickBooks Online for payroll. Depending on your business' needs, you can either subscribe to QBO Premium, Core, or Elite Standalone Payroll.
Also, you can export payroll data to QuickBooks Desktop. First, set up your Export Preferences:
Once done, you can now export your payroll transactions:

What about desktop Mac can I strictly use online for payroll only and how do I do it.
Thanks for getting back here, @dsharick.
Ensuring that you can process your payroll on your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac program is a great help so you'll be able to pay your employee correctly each payment period.
When processing payroll in your QBDT Mac, you can use the online payroll service that integrates with QuickBooks Online and supports Safari v3.1 and later.
Then, to give you in-depth details on how this is done, please reach out to our QuickBooks Payroll for Mac team. Here's how:

My client has an issue that I'm hoping someone that actually knows what they are doing can assist with. We have already called and dealt with the CARE center a couple of times without satisfaction.
Up front details:
Client uses QBO
Client uses QBO Payroll (recently transitioned from Intuit Payroll)
All employees utilize Direct Deposit for net pay
Client has a bookkeeper with all access, except Payroll, in the QBO data file
This user therefore has access to bank feed, general ledger reports, etc.
Client does not want the bookkeeper to be able to see this detail for other employees.
Issue:
Client runs payroll within QBO data file and processes
Detail, including name, and gross wage information hits the Wages expense account
Name, net pay amount, comes through the bank feed as a separate check for each employee
The client wants the gross wages for the bulk of employees to flow to the GL as one large number
The client wants the NET Pay (aggregate for all employees) to be disbursed from the bank account as one amount. (this was the way it occurred when using Intuit Payroll).
No matter how we try to adjust the setup, the result is the individual checks going through instead of one amount for both GL and bank disbursement.
Can anyone out there assist? Client has already had to delete two payroll runs and he wants to pay his employees this month.
Thank you
Hi there, @tcalabrese4458. I'd like to share some insights on your concerns shared above.
If the bookkeeper was invited through the Accounting firms tab of the Manage users page, then they'll have access to all the features available in your QBO version. The option to limit their access rights is unavailable in this situation. That means they can see the details for other employees as well.
To manage accountant users in QuickBooks Online, you can click here.
Since you need to limit their access, you can add them as one of the users. This way, you manage what they can and cannot do within your company file. That said, I suggest you open this article for reference about user roles and access rights in QuickBooks Online. Every available user role in QBO is listed, along with a short description.
When you create paychecks for each employee or profile, a separate check will be displayed. With regards to banking, these transactions are considered distinct ones because they belong to different employee accounts. That's why the result is an individual check, not the bulk amount.
Please keep me posted on how it goes. Post a reply in the comments below if you have other questions about payroll or any QuickBooks-related. I'll help you out as soon as I can.
I'd like to join the conversation and share details about downloading banking transactions, tcalabrese4458.
For now, there's no setting in QBO that would consolidated all net pay when downloading bank transactions. This is because they have they're own names assigned to them and can't reflected as one disbursement.
Aside from that, we also depends on the data that we receive from your bank. You'll wan to reach out to your financial institution and check if they can find a way to send them as one lump sum transaction.
Our engineers would like to hear your feedback about this. You can send feature request or product feedback directly from your QBO account. Here's how:
We also have more banking-related articles to share that can serve as additional references in case you will be needing them:

I do not have an export option under my payroll settings. How would I continue to export my payroll data to upload it to QBD?
Hello Kpadovese,
Nice to see you in the QuickBooks Community! I will be delighted to help! The instructions mentioned by my colleague, Mich_S should have allowed you to see that option. Since it didn't, could you please share a screenshot to assess the situation better! Also, could you share which Payroll Service you are using?
I will be looking forward to your response. Take care in the meantime.
It's extremely frustrating that the cost and features of Quickbooks Online Payroll are not also available for Quickbooks Desktop.
I have a client that has asked me to move their company from Quickbooks Online to Quickbooks Enterprise Desktop. They need to move to Enterprise Desktop because Quickbooks online does not have sufficient inventory features for their business. BUT, they are very happy with QB online payroll, which has far better service than Desktop Assisted Payroll.
Why can't Intuit simply match its Payroll Service costs and features between Online and Desktop???
Thanks for joining this thread and sharing insights about the QuickBooks payroll services, @dbain1.
I've come to discuss further details about this.
QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) and QuickBooks Online (QBO) are two different programs. In terms of managing payroll, they have dedicated services that you can use. For more information, feel free to visit these articles:
Your client can still use the online payroll service to manage their employees and taxes and then, export the data to their QBDT program later. To do so, they can follow the steps outlined by my colleague, Mich_S.
I've also got you here a compilation of reports that you can open to get a detailed view of your payroll information: Run payroll reports.
I'm always willing to lend a hand if you have an additional concern about using QuickBooks payroll services. Just leave a reply below and I'll get back to you. Thanks for dropping by.
