Lodgement Failed Code Error

Hi lando,

Welcome to QuickBooks.

Let's make sure that Electronic Lodgement is enabled so you can successfully add each employee without any error. Let me walk you through how.

1. Click Employees.
2. Go to the Payroll Setting tabs.
3. Select ATO Settings.

I have attached a screenshot for your visual reference.

Then, follow the instructions to enable electronic lodgement. Once done, you can start adding your employees.

Here's an article that will give you more information if you want to update your employee's tax file declaration: https://support.yourpayroll.com.au/hc/en-au/articles/200239640-Updating-Employee-Tax-File-Declaration.
