This looks like the best we're going to get for payroll. Usually we have a few deals in December and January, but none have come up in this price range, which is the typical "good deal" for quickbooks and payroll. My payroll expires in a couple weeks. Problem is I don't need a Lowe's gift card.

In this format, only the Payroll Enhanced portion is subscription correct? The rest of quickbooks is permanent?

Same question. Is this one year or 3 years for quickbooks.

Longtime QB Pro user here with Enhanced Payroll. I researched this as all this new "plus" crap was confusing me. Quickbooks Pro Plus is a subscription based program good for one year. One year for Quickbooks Pro Plus, one year for enhanced payroll. I usually just buy a whole new QB Pro with Enhanced PR on black Friday because someone always has a deal for like $250. I didn't do that this year and my payroll expired on March 18. I ended up just purchasing a year of Enhanced Payroll on Amazon for $399 (best price I could find). Then it took me 1/2 hour per usual to get it working while talking to someone from QB. I am so irritated by Intuits rip-off schemes. I wish there was something else I could use. I have TWO employees.

I have 4 employees, but otherwise same situation as you here. I don't think there were any deals for $250 as you say is usual.

Thanks for posting your research and sounds like better off just paying for payroll rather than this deal.

I think it's over $400 to just let the payroll auto renew from Intuit. Quickbooks is typically good for 3 years until it forces you to upgrade, but the payroll is only good for a year.

Any other ideas other than just paying $400 for the payroll key?

The cost of payroll itself is normally $500 per year plus $2 per employee per month. So this deal is much better. It includes payroll with one employee, you get the updated quickbooks and $200 to Lowe's. For $399.

Good price if it wasn't the Plus subscription version. Anyone know when the regular desktop version will go on sale again? I don't need payroll.

$500 payroll is only if you renew through Intuit. I have had quickbooks payroll for 13 years and never paid more than $250 buying it through another retailer.

Same here, I am a sole P. Last time I bought QB was on sale for less than $200. I would like to upgrade, but I will keep using the 2016 Pro. I can rationalize $200, but not $400.

I think they want to push people to the subscription model for the steady income stream.

This may not be the place, but I have several brand new retail versions of the 2020 Desktop Pro & Premier with the disc or download option available for sale. There are a few with the Payroll Enhanced option as well.

If you're interested, feel free to DM me.

Ordered it since this appears to be the best deal so far.

Do you have a link of another retailer selling enhanced payroll for around $250?

Quickbooks just has a license to print money given they have the installed base by their throats. Went through the same experience. When my payroll expired it took me a WHOLE day on the phone with QB reps to get there garbage single-signon-Intuit-account-authentication-nonsense all square away again.
