I appreciate your time getting back in here, @W3Group

 

Let me chime in and clarify things for you about transferring payroll subscription to a new company file.

 

For your question, yes, you can use the same process as described by my colleague above. QuickBooks Desktop Payroll can only support one company data file per EIN. Attempts to use multiple company files under the same EIN and payroll subscription may cause errors. That being said, you'll need to remove the service key in the old company to activate this in the new one. 

 

Since you're using Enhanced payroll and you don't pay per employee, it would be best to check first the following feature before you remove the service key. 

 

  • Direct deposit
  • QuickBooks Workforce
  • Worker's Comp

 

These are the online features that will be affected once you remove the service key. If you're not sure if your client uses these add-on features, do not perform the procedure, instead, contact us for support. This way, we can walk you through the process of transferring the payroll to the new company file.
 

If you want to learn more about your payroll services and features, please refer to this article for more details: QuickBooks Payroll Services and Features for QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Hope that clarifies everything about transferring your payroll subscription. Just click the Reply button to provide your response. I'll be around to help you more. Stay safe and healthy always.
