Payroll QBP 2007

Still working on my class, but having an issue with payroll history. I have
QBP 2007 and we cannot use the textbook date of 1/1/07 to begin entering
data for an existing company and enter the payroll history for the first
payroll check of the year on 1/1/07, even when changing the computer date
to 1/1/07. It refuses to accept that date for payroll and continues to ask
for more payroll history to be entered for the first quarter of 2007. We
have to use 2010 for the year to enter the data. That is fine for a class,
but not for real life. Anybody know how to get QBP2007 to accept 2007
payroll history data properly?

Are you having QB generate the paycheck as if it was in real time or are
you entering them yourself aka after-the-fact?

QB has an 'after-the-fact' payroll option that might allow you to enter
the 2007 history. What payroll subscription are you using?

I am using manual payroll and the Payroll Setup. I can enter the employees
with little problem, but the history page wants me to enter more data. I am
trying to set up a payment on 1/1/10 for 12/1/09 to 12/31/09 and it refuses
to accept it. I have the computer date set to 1/2/10. I get a page that
says "Enter paycheck dates for January, 2010 for Catlyn Ellis" and has 3
columns labeled Paycheck Dates, First day of pay period, Last day of pay
period.

change those dates to 2006 and 2007.

When you open the Employee center do you see a "payroll" tab? If you do,
click on that tab and tell me what it says under Subscription Statuses.

QB2007 is no longer supported by Intuit which means payroll is disabled.
This may be the real cause of your problem. I'll fire up my old machine
that has 2007 on it to see if I can get payroll w/subscription to work
but my guess is it won't.

Now I get a different result....I get an error message that says
"QuickBooks does not have the information required to compute amoutns
for paychecks dated 01/01/2007. If you create or edit paychecks you will
need to verify and correct all paycheck amounts manually."

IIRC, QB only maintains 2 years of payroll tables at a time so paychecks
for 2009 and 2010 can be created without any problems right now. This is
of course with a valid payroll subscription.

I am not using any payroll service subscriptions. QBP is set up for manual
payroll calculations.

Is this a company file that you created or a sample file provided by
Intuit? I'm still trying to figure out how to create a paycheck without
a payroll subscription.

It is a file I am creating. Go to Help and index Payroll. Go to the last
choice there, without a payroll service subscription. A couple of headings
down is Set your company file to use the manual payroll calculations
setting and click the link for manual payroll calculations.
