Question: If I convert to QuickBooks, do I have to use QuickBooks Payroll?
Answer: There is no requirement to use QuickBooks Payroll. Our businesses generally involve very few, if any, employees. And payroll is rarely a needed function.
My clients who do have a payroll typically use outside payroll services, or have their accountants do the payroll and provide journal entries into QuickBooks to record the transactions.
Please email accounting questions you would like considered for the column to HGatter@AccountingSupportLLC.com with the subject line of "Ask the Accountant."
