QuickBooks Payroll is an add-on whose code lives side-by-side (and is deployed with) the QuickBooks Desktop code. I am the developer that maintains the integration of the TurboTax tax processing code and engines technology with QuickBooks' accounting and payroll functionality.
"Payroll deductions are pretty simple" is not as true when you require nationwide support. The Yonkers residency tax, the Indiana counties payroll tax, etc. are not as simple as getting the employees' states and running calcs. Add in non-tax deductions (401(k), wage garnishments, worker's comp) and you've now found yourself in an interesting world.
