### "Quickbooks Desktop still reliable"

February 6, 2018

4.0

no

Pros

It's reliable, don't need internet to run it and it's easy to use. We thought about switching to Online but like the security of desktop.

Cons

Would be nice to have internet as back-up option, as well as to have it run better on Windows 10. Finding some issues with it not being compatible with anti virus protection.

April 3, 2020

The easy access online. How helpful customer service is. I also like that my bank accounts can be linked for quick organization of chart of accounts. It is nice to be able to invite my CPA into my account to help me keep track of all expenses for taxes.

Cons

There is nothing that comes to mind that I dislike about this software. It is easy to use and when I have questions they are always answered. I have never had a representative that was difficult to deal with.

### "Great software for my payroll needs."

April 15, 2022

4.0

Pros

It is easy to set up accounts for the employees and really easy to use. very user friendly.

Cons

Sometimes the accounts created do not work when employees try to log in. Seldom, we would have to request another email to set up a user that had issues with logging in, so it was an easy fix. Aside from these very few incidents, it works great.

### "Full Service is Not Customer Service"

September 4, 2019

1.0

Pros

Easy to use. Setup was straightforward.

Cons

Software is fine. I have struggled to get Quickbooks payroll to make deposits to my state for withholding. If Intuit would simply send a text ir email that a deposit was NOT made, remediation could have timely occurred instead of receiving notices from the state. I would not recommend this product due to abysmal customer service.

I enjoy using the software

March 11, 2020

5.0

QuickBooks Payroll saves me time and eases my mind about submission of payroll taxes.

Pros

I am very happy with this payroll service. I like the idea of having control entering my payroll demographics, employee hours and withholds. The best of the best is I do not have to fret over when taxes are due or sending out the W2s. Their customer service is awesome! I feel it is very much worth the money for my peace of mind.

Cons

I do not have an answer for this question. :)

### "Is there another option?"

March 20, 2019

4.0

Pros

Calculates payroll deductions, including state and local taxes, thus obviating the need for any kind of "payroll" department. Easy to input data for employees.

Cons

Impossible to simply purchase (and own) the software; intuit insists on a monthly fee. Information needed for tax forms is spread across multiple reports, and pulling this information is possible, but annoying in a way that it doesn't need to be. Customer service does not exist.

### "Payroll"

October 9, 2021

4.0

It has been good.

Pros

Functions are simply labelled and easy to setup. I think anyone with a non-accounting background would be able to figure out this system.

Cons

There are a lots and sometimes they aren't the most timely. We try to work ahead and sometimes the quarterly reports aren't ready early.

May 14, 2020

5.0

My life got too busy to keep up with all the payroll tax returns so I switched to Payroll Full Service. I did something wrong and couldn't run my next payroll. YIKES! \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]with customer service called me back quickly and my employees got paid right away. She was kind, considerate and professional. And very respectful despite my inabilities. I feel very well cared for by this company.

Pros

I don't know anything about software and this still works.

### "\[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is a Life saver"

May 7, 2020

5.0

\[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] took the extra time to research the issue I was having. I really appreciated that when I needed to be transfer he stayed on the line to insure I would be able to resolve the issue. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] even followed back up with me to make sure it was taken care of. It was a relief to get someone that was knowledgeable and went the extra mile.

Pros

\[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] put the Service back into Customer Service!

Cons

In the past I have gotten some customer support that knew less than me.

### "Ready to file your taxes? You must read this!"

April 11, 2021

5.0

Pros

I love the simplicity that Intuit-Turbotax has to make tax season less stressful. It is pretty simple for people like me who need to follow step by step. It makes me feel that I can rely on the security levels that they have and I feel wonderful to know that my taxes were done the best way possible without an accountant.

Cons

Actually, I absolutely love this product and there is nothing negative I can think of. If you are reading this, definitely try it and you will have a smooth tax filing process...

### "Basic Functionality"

August 3, 2021

4.0

Customer service was not the best. I would spend hours on the phone with a rep to try to get a resolution. Even then, it took multiple calls for the task to be completed.

Pros

Software is great for smaller companies with only salaried employees that expect minimal changes between payroll runs.

Cons

Adding a view of payroll changes each period would be helpful to identify major changes or potential mistakes. Also allowing employees to update their W-4 information on their own would have saved time from an HR standpoint, as well as mitigated risk.

Reason for choosing QuickBooks Payroll

Quickbooks payroll was chosen as it was convenient when setting up quickbooks as our accounting system.
