Quickbooks Paytoll
Pretty good payroll processer. It has a lot of customizable options, and is fairly easy to set up and use. Some features are not the best working, and support can often be lacking.
Pros
Mostly easy to use, very customizable and has multiple options for pay types
Cons
Often base overtime pay on the prevailing wage rate instead of the regular OT rate. Sometimes can be "clunky" to enter information

Quickbooks Desktop Payroll
I have been using quickbook payroll for many years. I love the reports very easy to understand. Employee profiles are easy to setup, you can add deductions for garnishments, advances, set a limit and the system will stop deducting when that limit has hit. Do not like the $5.00 direct deposit that is charged for each employee that does direct deposit they should rethink this other programs are much less. Great program but they are going to hurt themselves with this fee.
Pros
very user friendly easy to use program for payroll.
Cons
the $5.00 direct deposit fee that other program charge much less.

Not the worst, but not the best.
Overall it was an easy to use payroll and tax service. It was just very frustrating when you needed to do something that required calling customer service.
Pros
Easy to use. Great report options. Easy to run tax reports and pay quarterly/annually.
Cons
The customer service is terrible. They do not know how to handle any situation. We just did not like the service or lack there of.

QuickBooks Payroll Should Have Their License Revoked
We have been using QuickBooks online payroll for almost 3 years now. In July of this year, we discovered issues with accrual calculations and syncing errors. Not only has this issue not been fixed 4 months later, but we have now discovered system calculations have been incorrect for some time, shorting our employees of vacation earnings. While their engineers have been working on a fix, they managed to delete our payroll data, which they have not been able to recover. In over 20 years in the financial industry, I have never experienced or heard of anything like this. The most alarming part is that they show little concern or urgency in correcting this issue. They should not be able to sell or operate a malfunctioning financial system and deserve to have their business license revoked. Not only will we be moving to a new system asap, but we will also be reporting them to the Canadian Financial Consumer Agency. Considering QuickBooks is one of the largest accounting systems in the world, it is shocking they can operate such a flawed system. STAY AWAY!!!!
Pros
Absolutely nothing! This system and their constant updates is full or errors.
Cons
Everything! We have uncovered a disaster issue noted in detail below.

QuickBooks Payroll: Streamlining Small Business Payroll and Tax Management
My overall experience with QuickBooks Payroll has been positive. The seamless integration with QuickBooks Online, comprehensive tax compliance features, and user-friendly interface have made managing payroll and tax processes efficient. However, the additional cost for full-service payroll and the need to manually handle local tax filing could be less convenient for some users.
Pros
I found QuickBooks Payroll particularly impressive for its seamless integration with QuickBooks Online for accounting, comprehensive tax compliance features, and user-friendly interface for managing payroll and tax processes efficiently.
Cons
While QuickBooks Payroll offers comprehensive features, some users may find the additional cost for full-service payroll and the need to manually handle local tax filing to be less convenient.

Best Payroll Utility
My overall experience with QuickBooks Payroll has been positive. The software simplifies the complexities of payroll management and provides a comprehensive solution that minimizes errors and ensures compliance with tax regulations. The automation has improved the workflow, allowing me to focus on other business priorities. While there are areas for improvement, especially regarding cost and occasional service delays, it remains a reliable tool for payroll management.
Pros
QuickBooks Payroll is user-friendly and seamlessly integrates with QuickBooks accounting software, which makes managing payroll, taxes, and employee benefits much easier. The automated calculations and tax filing features are reliable and save a lot of time. The support for direct deposits is also a great advantage, making the payment process efficient for both employers and employees.
Cons
The cost can be a bit high for smaller businesses, especially if they need additional features or multi-state payroll support. Occasional updates or changes in tax regulations may require some manual adjustments, and the customer service response time can sometimes be slower than expected.

The best site for payroll and tax help!
Pros
I enjoy everything about QuickBooks online payroll. It sends me reminders each week to complete payroll for the week, helps me keep track of important tax and banking information, and how much will be taken out each week/month for taxes and payroll. My employees also appreciate that they get an email sent as soon as I complete payroll with how much they will be getting paid that week.
Cons
There is not anything yet that I dislike about QuickBooks payroll! My employees and myself appreciate this site. It is laid out great and is very use to access/use.

QuickBooks Payroll is good but beward
Pros
Easy to set up direct deposit, print checks, calculates all federal and state taxes.
Cons
Not all reports were filed with the states. Offboarding a state in not easy you must call support. Quickbooks will continue to charge you per state until you call offboard the state even if there are no employees in the state.
