Who this is for: The firm owner, or whoever looks after your firm’s Debits subscription.
What you’ll learn: How Debits charges your firm, where to see the plan you are on, and where to manage payment details and invoices.
Before you begin
- Sign in as the firm owner. Only the owner sees the Billing card on the Account page.
- Debits sells two products and you buy them separately: a Tax plan (Solo, Practice or Firm) and a Bookkeeping package (Core or Complete). You can take one or both.
- Your plan summary lives on the Subscription & Billing page. Open it from Account, or add
/account/subscriptionto your Debits web address.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Open your plan summary
Go to Subscription & Billing. The Your plan card shows one line for each product you pay for: your tax tier with its active-client allowance, and your bookkeeping package with its price per company.
Step 2: Check your subscription status
The badge beside the page title shows the state of your subscription, such as Trialing, Active or Past Due. A past-due subscription blocks feature access until you fix the payment method.
Step 3: See what the tax plans include
Open the Choose your plan page. Tax has three tiers. Solo is $107 a month or $1,070 a year, Practice is $297 a month or $2,970 a year, and Firm is $599 a month or $5,990 a year. Paying yearly costs ten months instead of twelve, which is why the page calls it “2 months free”. Every tier includes unlimited staff seats.
Step 4: See what bookkeeping costs
Bookkeeping is priced for each company you manage and is always billed monthly, even when your tax plan is annual. Core is $5 per company per month and Complete is $10 per company per month.
Step 5: Open your billing details
Go to Account. Under Billing & activity, the Billing card shows your subscription state. Select Manage to open your billing portal.
Step 6: Manage payments and invoices in the billing portal
The portal opens in a new tab. Use it to add or replace your payment method, change the name and email that appear on your invoices, and open past invoices.
What happens next
Your tax plan and your bookkeeping package are billed independently, so each one appears as its own line on your plan summary and its own charge on your invoices. A few things never change your bill:
- Seats are unlimited on every plan. Adding staff costs nothing.
- E-signatures are unlimited and free. The only add-on is KBA identity verification at $1 per signer, which is added to your next invoice.
- There are no per-return, per-report and no per-organizer fees, and there is no bundle discount for taking both products.
Troubleshooting
- You cannot see the Billing card: it is shown to the firm owner only. Ask your firm owner to make the change.
- Your plan card says you have no active plan: your firm has not subscribed yet. Select Choose a plan and follow “How to choose a plan and start your free trial”.
- You see a “Billing issue” warning: a payment has failed. See “How to fix a failed payment”.
