What do you like best about QuickBooks Payroll?

QB Payroll is pretty functional and accurate when doing both payroll and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Payroll?

Two aspects - cost and support. The price for QB Payroll has gone up by almost 5 times since I started using it. Also, Intuit has worked on their customer service but it's still not great. Their folks are friendly and mostly know what they're doing but I often find myself digging through help files rather than contacting them because it's faster.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Payroll?

It's cheap and integrated with my Accounting Software - Quickbooks Online. Signing up and Implementing is quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Payroll?

It has minimal functionality and they only make product enhancements if it benefits enough clients. Their Customer Service is awful, and hard to get a straight answer from. When things get challenging for the Customer Service representatives, they decide to "accidentally" lose connection rather than take ownership and see the case through. I have had multiple "accidental" hang-ups on complex issues but zero "accidental" hang-ups on easy issues.

I'm a startup and qualify for the Employee Retention Credit through Q4 of 2021 as a Recovery Startup Business. The rest of the businesses claiming ERC had to stop claiming the tax credit at the end of Q3. So rather than turn the ERC functionality off for those that don't qualify and keep it on for those that do, they decided to turn it off for all. When I called in to ask for it to be turned back on, I was told there aren't enough clients of theirs that are startups and to go find a new payroll company. They literally kicked me to the curb to find a new payroll company with 10 days left in the year.

Having worked at ADP for 11 years I knew no payroll company would take on tax filing liability with just 10 days left in the year. So now I'm stuck using a CPA for payroll and paying really expensive rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
