I use QB Pro 2011, with Enhanced Payroll (up to 3 empl). I've hired again, what are my options? I don't want to pay the over $400 for renewal. Frustrating.

One must upgrade to the unlimited employees package; there's only two options with QBs - up to three employees, or unlimited (and the latter is only available with the online edition, period!). It's about a $100 more if I recall correctly, which quite honestly, is difficult to do with all the disturbing and extremely costly add-ons, fees, upgrades, additions, support, services, etc., which QBs perpetually assesses for the seemingly minor details and pompous efforts they provide to assist their patrons with their product. Apparently, this process is quite intentionally designed to limit service, comprehensive accessibility and ease of use to the consumer, while incurring greater costs as he/she becomes aware of the "bait and hook." And rather exorbitantly at that. Tread with caution. You will likely pay in excess of $600/yr to utilize this program effectively. Everything with QBs, which I believe ought to be simply included with the program, comes at an additional, and very unwelcome fee. Trust me. Look into the other free, online programs which provide a very similar service, without all the hype, unnecessary control and expensive fees for your small business. Essentially, QBs has got me very tightly wrapped around their little greedy fingers. The software itself is alright, but they design (and are constantly redesigning) it to be much more complicated than warranted in an obvious attempt to offer you support at a significant drain to your small business resources. If you're loaded, go for it. If not, I highly recommend you look elsewhere.

No. It figures the overall total if you keep the correct information entered but it does not even attempt a report that you can file with the state. 99% of the time it even gets the totals wrong and you have to fix the Quickbooks accounts by editing the liability payable account after you figure it manually. I returned to basic payroll because Enhanced does nothing for the State of Alabama and only prints 2 extra forms for the federal government. These forms are available for free on the IRS website.

I had to call them and they allowed me to remove the 'dead' one and add the new one without the activation fee and they moved the contract to the new one. That was a few years ago. May want to call and ask first.

Yes it includes a 1 yr subscription. I find this amazing because Quckbooks was going to charge me in Oct. $349.00 for my one year but I saved that by buying the QB's Pro 2013 upgrade and the one year P/R. I guss I will buy a payroll package from Amazon each year now.

Hi Bonnie, You will be able to migrate your 2011 data to the 2014 version. As for seeing what the forms and reports look like, they will not be significantly different from the 2011 version. Intuit does not have a "trial" of the Premier software, but you could download the QuickBooks Enterprise 2014 Trial, it is important that you do not use your "live" data as once the data is converted to QB Enterprise it will not convert back to Premier. After you download the QB Enterprise Trial, when you install it choose "Non-Profit", that will give you an idea on what the reports and forms will look like in the 2014 version.

I think I am paying by the month for three employees or less. If you go over three employees the monthly fee increases. I haven't been using it very long so I'm still learning my self. Good luck to you, Bob.

You will not have to incur any costs for the device anymore than the new 6.99 fee for the additional receiver, but being that they require renewal for any new equipment, you will have to renew your contract with them. I went through the same issues. If you do call them, you can buy the receiver outright from them and not have to renew the contract, but it will cost you more money up front.

I've been using QB2012 profor the past 5 months and while it is true that they charge too much for "enhanced payroll and other features," I found the service very helpful. I run payroll for 2 employees and the annual cost is over $300 bucks plus a $29 monthly fee. This is too much! But when it comes to Fed 941 and state's liabilities I don't have to worry and just process the liabilities via electronic filing. I also contacted their payroll customer service and they were very professional and helpful in answering my questions. I also posted a question on the Intuit blog and I got a response within a few hours. Every software company comes up with upgrades for their products and charges for them but I do agree that QB's upgrades are too expensive, specially after you have spent a considerable amount obtaining the software and paying for services. QB should care more a about its customers and provide upgrades and services at reasonable rates.

Hi Susana, I'm almost certain that the box version is for 3 employees. When you install it should give you the option of paying a fee to get the unlimited employee function. That's what we did. Please note that I am not an Intuit employee or anything, I've just used the software since 1996 so this response is just my personal experience. David

I bought directly from Quickbooks 3 days ago and they told me the renewal in 1 year would be $110.

still true, but they don't make it easy. You won't find the option in your account billing tab. You need to go to the activation site and select the "renew" option. https://secure.me.com/wo/WebObjects/Signup.woa/wa/activation

I recently started with the free version and it worked fine. A coworker downloaded the free TRIAL of the PRO version and after using a few times, it wouldn't work without paying. So unless you need the Pro features, don't download the trial, just use the free version.

I've downloaded QB 2013 - I'm continuing to get upgrades. I've paid for support (as I'm sure you have) effective the end of the year and that continues through the year. I don't think I've ever purchased QB software from Intuit. I've always gone to Staples or Sam's Club. Hope that answers your questions.

Read the reviews on the 2012 vs. and I think you will see that the 2011 vs. may not have the issues that the newer vs. does. I have used QuickBooks Pro in the past, beginning in 2002 and the last year was 2008. I was very impressed with the ease of use and the ability to make corrections to posting without having to do journal entries, ie. just fix the posting. The payroll, when I was doing it came with the annual upgrade for free, so I upgraded annually. There was no limit on the number of employees, or if there was we never reached it. Our highest employee count was probably twenty. But having read the reviews for 2012 I am wondering if I want to install for my new start-up company. Maybe the 2011 for now and see what else is out there before we have employees.

Careful. They only gave me 60 days, not the advertised 90 and you need to end the subscription if you do not want to be charged the $10/month after 60 days. Also I expect they will add taxes and fees on top of that without letting you know how much they are in advance. Thats what they do with other charges.

I don't believe so. You are better off buying a new version every year when your subscription runs out and paying around $30 or so (sometimes less if there is a rebate) than renewing/buying a subscription.
