Choosing the best way to process payroll
How to decide whether to use QB payroll services, online, or purchase QB payroll software? I only plan to cut 4 checks a year for each of my 2 employees.

Hi newvision408!
I think your choice of products would depend on other needs your company may have. Do you need the accounting, invoicing, and customer/vendor tracking that QuickBooks offers or are you only looking for a payroll solution?
If you need very minimal accounting, invoicing, and customer/vendor tracking, I would suggest QuickBooks Simple Start and add the payroll service. For more specialized tracking and reporting, you may look into QuickBooks Pro or possibly Premier. But it sounds like you may not need the large QuickBooks Premier software. You can add payroll to both of these versions of QuickBooks as well. Learn about QuickBooks at www.quickbooks.com.
There are a few options for payroll too. Basic payroll will allow you to create and print paychecks or use direct deposit, but you'll have to do your tax forms by hand. Enhanced Payroll gives you all the paycheck abilities plus the ability to print and file your payroll tax forms from right within QuickBooks. Learn more about payroll options at www.payroll.com.
If you only need payroll (i.e., you use a different accounting solution or your accountant handles all of that), then I would suggest Intuit Online Payroll. Online Payroll gives you the ability to create and print checks, as well as create and file your payroll tax forms, without having to purchase QuickBooks.
You can also call one of our agents at (866) 238-3346 and ask them to help you choose a service that is right for you.
