Question

Can I change my RT account number for employment tax?

When I started payroll I hadn't received my RT number so I used my EIN number instead. I now have an RT number but I'm unable to enter it into QuickBooks; it won't allow me to delete the old number.

Since you already entered your EIN instead of the RT number, changing it your own won't be possible because all previous employment tax entries are recorded under your EIN, @capitanopressurewashing

 

To guide you in changing it into your RT number, I recommend contacting the QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll Team since they will first review all the employment tax transactions under your EIN and see if it was recorded there successfully. Confirming this is important since the EIN and RT numbers are different from each other. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Help icon in the upper right corner.
  2. Choose search and enter your concern in the search field. Then, press Enter on your keyboard.

  4. Pick either Chat or Callback.
