QB Desktop Pro Plus 2024 payroll for multiple companies

You need Enhanced Payroll subscription to integrate with QB Desktop Pro Plus. As I know, you can use the same license code to manage payroll for up to 3 EIN.

Thank you for reaching out with your concerns about using QuickBooks Pro Plus 2024 for payroll processing, Sheri. I appreciate how crucial it is for your accounting firm's tools to be dependable and effective, especially as you prepare to offer payroll services to your clients.

QuickBooks Pro Plus 2024 doesn't include a payroll subscription as part of its standard package. To use the payroll features within QuickBooks, you'll have to subscribe to a separate payroll service.

To use payroll features, subscribe to a payroll service before September 30. After this date, QuickBooks will stop selling certain versions and payroll subscriptions to new U.S. users.

Also, this change won't impact existing subscribers as we continue to provide security updates, product enhancements, and support for your current subscriptions without interruption.

To check if you already have a payroll subscription, go to the Payroll Center in QuickBooks, it'll be listed there. I'll guide you on how:

1. Go to the Employees menu.
2. Select Payroll Center. 
3. Check your current payroll service under Subscription Statuses in the Payroll tab.

If you don’t see an active payroll subscription, click the Turn On Payroll option on the Homepage. You'll be routed to the payroll site, then follow the on-screen instructions to activate payroll.

If the option doesn’t appear, contact our Payroll Support Team for setup and assistance with payroll features.
