I am in the same boat as you. I am down to 2 employees and would like to get rid of my payroll subscription and do my payroll manually through Quickbooks, and just keep using my 2022 version. They eventually make you buy a new subscription.
Quickbooks now charges an extra 2.00 per employee over and above the payroll subscription rate which is ridiculous considering their customer service is lacking.
I am going to check out Sage 50 as well!
Thanks
