I have an existing QuickBooks online account and want to add the basic payroll option.  I can see where to start a whole new account but not just add to an account.

    You can activate the payroll service inside your existing QuickBooks Online account, Wec2it.

     

    To turn it on, please follow these steps:

    1. Go to the Workers menu and click Employees.
    2. Click Get Started or Set up Payroll.
    3. Choose the type of service that you want to use.
    4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete setting up your payroll account.

    I would also recommend checking out the QuickBooks Online Payroll Hub. It will link you to the Help articles that'll guide you through basic payroll setup and functions.

      Hello, THYRO. 

       

      The Employees tab is where you'll go to do things like update employee information, add new employees, and run payroll. It's so important for all areas of your QuickBooks Online account to be working as intended. I'd be happy to help you get the payroll working again. 

       

      Try clearing the cache and cookies in your web browser. Stored Internet files that cling to the background of your browser can cause latency and loading issues in sites like QuickBooks Online. Here's how to clear them: How do I clear my browser cache and temporary Internet files? 

       

      If the issue persists, try using an Incognito window in Google Chrome, press CTRL + Shift + N, Mozilla Firefox: press CTRL + Shift + P, Safari: press Command + Shift + N. This is a private window that runs separate from the rest of your browser. Here's how it works: Browse in private. You can also try using a different browser all together.  

       

      I'm here anytime you need help or if you have other questions about your employee's payroll. Have a good one. Keep safe!
