![]() One of the emails that arrived in my inbox this morning was from Amazon advertising some software deals.Īmazon had a “special” on QuickBooks Pro 2009 plus QuickBooks Payroll “3 user” for $169. So how do people without a CPA degree and 20 years of accounting industry experience figure this stuff out? Beats me. Only once I made a trip to the Barnes and Noble was I able to pull out older reference guides stating that QuickBooks indeed offered an added fee payroll service at least for the 20 versions (and Inuit states that it has always been that way). Their 2008 “ what’s new” guide seems to indicate that their QuickBooks Pro 2008 does indeed do payroll (with no mention of having to subscribe to a service that in many cases doubles the price of the software). ![]() This information was nearly impossible for me to find on Intuit’s own site. Sure, you could use Payroll within the older versions – so long as you didn’t mind manually entering many of your calculations. Turns out on at least QuickBooks Pro 20 there was a separate fee charged for 3 user and unlimited payroll processing. The confusion stems from any number of issues – not the least of which Intuit’s web site is vague over what “payroll” processing means within older versions of QuickBooks Pro. Update 4-3-2009: Nope – it doesn’t look like Intuit doubled the price.
