Do I really need Payroll Core?

Thanks for reaching out to us for advice, Chris. Let me share some information about the benefits of subscribing to QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll Core.

Simple Start is the most basic level of QBO and is ideal for firms in their early stages of development. It's suitable for small businesses with simple bookkeeping requirements. 

If you don't want to use payroll services, you'll have to manually enter paychecks into QBO to track your payment totals and preserve your payroll and account data in one place. However, it does not generate the information required for your employees' W-2s and other tax filing requirements.

For an efficient and reliable way to manage your company's payroll, QBO Payroll Core is the way to go. This software offers a range of useful features that help streamline your payroll process, from managing employee information and tracking time off to calculating taxes and generating pay stubs. This way, you can save time and reduce errors in your payroll process, giving you more time to focus on other important aspects of your business. Whether you're a small business owner or a larger enterprise, QBO Payroll Core is an excellent choice for managing your payroll needs.

Additionally, you may also set up your employees for direct deposit so they can be paid on time into their checking, savings, or money market accounts.
