Enhanced Payroll for Accountants

OK, I guess I have the answer to my questions now. I spoke with someone in Tech Support and I was thinking I can do the payroll for up to 50 companies in my QuickBooks file, but apparently my clients would have to send me their QB files and I would process payroll in them and then send them back. That kinda stinks b/c then my clients won't be able to make changes to their QB files while I run payroll plus my new client is never in his office to send me his file. Can anyone verify this please? Sometimes answers from Tech Support can vary based on who you talk to.

I have been using Enhanced Payroll both with and without Direct Deposit for many of my clients. I simply send my clients the payroll reports so that they can enter a journal entry into their data file. They won't have the detail, but using an outside payroll company is common and a journal entry has always been the answer. I include the reports with the payroll package that is delivered. For a client that is completely direct deposit you can simply send your transmission and fax the reports to your client (you can't e-mail paystubs--only print; you can fax or e-mail the other payroll reports). Each payroll should include: 1. payroll checks or payroll stubs 2. Cash required for net checks (If using Direct Deposit Quickbooks generates a Payroll Liability check which includes all net checks and the direct deposit fees; otherwise format a report showing all net checks) 3. Payroll Tax Liability Report showing all taxes due or being paid by you (EFTPS works great) 4. Payroll Summary Report

Hope this helps!

Thanks Hill. But when you actually process the client's payroll in QuickBooks, you're doing it in their date file correct? From what I've seen it looks like I have to be in the client's file and add my service key to their payroll services.

RE: "you can't email paystubs--only print"

Starting with QB2006 R3, you can now email paystubs as well as print them.
