QuickBOoks Payroll Support 888-515-7490 || QuickBooks Payroll makes it easy to pay employees and manage taxes without much hassle. With QuickBooks Payroll you can just push a button from the dashboard where you enter hours (or it can take them from QuickBooks Time), check and show the details like the deductions and net pay, and send it; the system then automatically takes the money out of your account, pays the tax and files the forms (according to your plan) while letting the employees see their pay stubs on the internet. The setup of employees' accounts is simply done by specifying their pay rates and providing info for taxes; there are also different levels of service available ranging from basic manual to complete automated service.

QuickBooks is phasing out QuickBooks Desktop payroll, but it is not completely eliminating payroll services. Existing users of QuickBooks Desktop Payroll can continue to use and renew their subscriptions, while new customers can no longer purchase most desktop payroll plans. The company is encouraging existing desktop users to migrate to QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise to continue using payroll and other supported features. 

# How much does QuickBooks payroll cost?
QuickBooks Payroll is a cloud‑based payroll solution that helps small and midsize businesses run payroll, pay employees, and handle payroll taxes in one place. The service uses a transparent pricing model with a monthly base fee plus a per‑employee charge, and businesses can choose from Core, Premium, or Elite plans depending on how much automation, HR support, and compliance help they need. Because QuickBooks Payroll integrates directly with QuickBooks Online accounting, it is a popular choice for companies that want to simplify bookkeeping, reduce payroll errors, and stay compliant with changing tax rules while keeping predictable monthly costs.
