QB Desktop24 Enterprise Contractor Edition

The payroll feature is not available in Enterprise Silver. You will need to have Enterprise Gold at least to run the payroll. Enhanced Payroll doesn't support QB Desktop Enterprise. You can purchase a new license of QB Desktop Enterprise Gold via a partner and you will get a 20% off perpetual discount on renewals. You won't get the renewal discount if you purchase the license directly to Intuit.

Hi there, SEMCO.

I appreciate you for sharing a screenshot of the error you received, SEMCO. Let me share insights on how Payroll subscription works in QuickBooks Desktop. I'll also ensure you can run certified payroll reports efficiently.

To begin with, having an Enhanced Payroll subscription helps you pay your team quickly, accurately, and on time. You can also file and pay federal and state payroll taxes, then electronically file W-2s at the end of the year. If you require these features alongside managing your financial data, then, yes you need to buy the said plan if you're utilizing the standard version of QBDT

If you're utilizing the QuickBooks Enterprise Gold and Platinum, Enhanced Payroll is already built-in or fully integrated into it. That said, there's no separate purchase is required or with no additional monthly fees for employees; additional fees for contractors will apply. You can refer to this article to see further details: QuickBooks Enterprise Gold or Platinum.

On the other hand, please know that creating prevailing wages and certified payroll reports needs to have QuickBooks Desktop Payroll. Then, ensure that Macro is enabled in Excel and you're using the 64-bit version of Office to maximize performance. 

If the issue persists,  I suggest updating your QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release. This way,  you always have the latest features and fixes.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Help menu at the top and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Select Update Now, then click Get Updates.
3. When the update finishes, close and reopen QuickBooks. 
4. When asked to install the update, click Yes.
5. When the installation finishes, restart your computer.

Moreover, I also recommend the same thing for your payroll tax table. This helps you have the most current and accurate rate and calculations for federal and supported state taxes, and payroll tax forms, and run a certified payroll report smoothly. 

Let me know if you have other concerns with running certified payroll reports in QBDT. I'm always free to help you whenever you need my assistance. Take care and stay safe always.

There are no updates.  I have it set up to update automatically.  If my excel is part of office 365 how do I tell if it's 64 bit and macro enabled?

I'm glad to see you again on this thread, SEMCO. I can help you check for your Microsoft Excel details and its version number.

To check for your Excel's product information, please follow the steps below:

1. Open your Excel and select Account.
2. On the Product Information page, you'll see the Microsoft Office version.
3. After that, kindly click About Excel to view the bit version of the software and other necessary info.

Furthermore, macros are mainly associated with MS Excel. That means that the software is already macros-ready. Macro settings are located in the Trust Center. 

You can follow this Microsoft article to check if it has been enabled on your end: Enable or disable macros in Microsoft 365 files. For additional assistance, you may reach out to your IT support or contact a Microsoft customer representative.

Additionally, you can organize and personalize your reports in QuickBooks. It would allow you to handle what information to show and hide when pulling up your report.

Feel free to get back on this thread if you have more concerns about your QuickBooks-related data in Excel. I'm always available to help you.
