Question

K1 Reference Field

When adding expenses today i noticed a new field just above the tags field called “K1 Reference Number.” I have tried for hours to remove it using QBO’s new AI helper. It seems that this is the only help available now. When I tried to reach a human being I received a message that said this feature is not available for my plan, QB Plus. Is there anyone who knows how I can either:

  1. Remove the field, or 
  2. Find a way to talk to someone at Intuit?

Thank you!

[REMOVED PII]

ps I am a sole proprietor and do not need this field.

The K1 Reference Number field in your tags is a new feature in QuickBooks Online, and the option to remove it is currently unavailable. Since you're a sole proprietor, you can safely ignore this field. Leaving it blank will not affect your books, your reporting, or your taxes in any way.

 

Additionally, you can submit feedback directly to our product engineers to request the removal of this field. To do this, click the Gear icon in the top-right corner of your QuickBooks Online account and select Feedback. They review these requests closely when planning future updates.

 

Regarding your experience reaching out to our support team, please note that your QuickBooks Plus subscription absolutely includes live, human support. Could you please provide a screenshot of the error you received when trying to contact us?

 

If you're still having trouble getting through, you can refer to this article and dial the phone number under QuickBooks to get assistance from our QuickBooks Live Experts team.
