Reactivate credit card in QuickBooks Payroll

QuickBooks Payroll is a subscription service that will be automatically renewed by Intuit as long as your billing information is current and you have the supported version of QuickBooks Desktop. Before renewal, users must receive a renewal notification for the payroll service from Intuit.

Many times, it happens when renewal fails due to multiple reasons that’ll be discussed in the below section. When the renewal fails, it gives you subscription alerts including reactivating your credit card in QuickBooks Payroll. To resolve such inconveniences in your software, we’ve come up with this blog where you will come to know how to deal with this issue and get it resolved with ease.

Reasons for receiving the “Reactivate credit card in QuickBooks Payroll” notification

Well, as said before there are several reasons behind getting reactivation alerts in QuickBooks. Here are some of them:

• QuickBooks does not have the most recent version.
• If the automatic renewal fails, or if the credit card or bank account on file is no longer valid,
• Your payroll charges are being held up by Intuit because of a lack of authorization.
• The Quickbooks payroll tax table hasn’t been updated in quite some time.

Steps to reactivate your payroll subscription

If there is an expired credit card on your account, manually renew may be required so here’s how to renew your subscription:

• Go to the Employees >> My Payroll Service >> Account/Billing Information in QuickBooks
• If your account information did not auto-populate, sign in using your Intuit Account login
• Select the Reactivate link next to the service status in the Service Information section
• Check to see if your payroll service is included
• Then select Continue to Checkout
• Update or add your payment information by selecting a Payment Method
• Then choose the “Submit” button
• Place your order by pushing the button
• Find out what happens next and then go back to QuickBooks
• Sign back into Employees >>> My Payroll Service >>> Account/Billing Information to confirm that the reactivation was successful
• Also, keep an eye on the Service Status.

Important Note: If the service status is blank or is still showing inactive after reactivating, you would need to contact payroll support.

What happens if your payroll subscription expires?

Though payroll services run on subscription and if you don’t purchase the subscription on time then all the QuickBooks features such as payroll forms, payroll taxes, and other automatic calculations will no longer be active.
