QuickBooks Q&A (US)

BofA changed their downloaded QBO file headers in early 2026.  You can open the files in Notepad and find the change.  Previously working files had the same FID and BID:  11162.  Newer, broken files have FID 11162 and BID 6526.Desktop Premier 2024Bank of AmericaWorking historical files: FID=11162, BID=11162Broken new files: FID=11162, BID=6526Crash occurs during “Updating branding files”Workaround: open file in notepad and manually change INTU.BID to match FID of 11162. Save file and then import in QuickBooksAlternate Workaround: disable bank feeds, then Change BID in the qbo file  to 3000 (Wells Fargo).  Then import.  QB will identify the source as wells fargo, but it will still import fine.  All the transactions still work. Probably the ultimate fix here is for QB to update their bank definition files to include the new BofA BID 6526  

I keep getting this error when attempting to process 1099's in QBO.

I’m extremely frustrated and hoping for help from the QuickBooks Community or Intuit. A former employee set up our QuickBooks account using her personal email and phone number for account recovery. She left without notice and has been unresponsive to multiple attempts to regain access. I’ve submitted the account recovery form multiple times and contacted Customer Support, but was told they cannot assist further. Despite providing business verification, I’ve received no resolution and remain locked out of our company account. This is a business-owned account and we urgently need administrative access restored. Any guidance or escalation from Intuit would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Where can I find a copy of Qb for Mac Desktop 2024, so I can upgrade my MacBook Air laptop to the newest OS?  (I'm currently running QuickBooks Desktop Mac 2020 Version V19.1.16 R17.3 with macOS Sonoma Version 14.5) Or, does anyone k now if Intuit has plans to release a 2026 version?  I'm looking forward to upgrading my desktop version without trying to get upsold constantly for the online subscription version.  Thanks in advance.

As I was preparing my W-2’s I noticed that somehow the Medicare box was not checked so all the checks that were produced for an employee did not have Medicare taken out. The employee is no longer employed.  I need to correct my 941 for 3rd Qtr.  1. How do I do this and 2. Do I need to make sure the W-2 then shows his wages and payments for Medicare and how do I do this?   Never had this happen…

I voided 2 sales receipts in Quickbooks for 2025 that had previously been reconciled, and I created two new sales receipts to match the date and amount. How do I re-reconcile these new sales receipts? I need clear step by step instructions. Thank you.

Video shows that View Report button in History of Reconciliation has option to undo reconciliation for each report. I don't see that option but I am Administrator.

Quickbooks will no longer work on my laptop once I updated to Sonoma 14 / Apple. Does anyone have any idea what I should to to get all my records back etc...  Upgrade to 2023 Quickbooks?  Reinstall my 2020 system?

Our Book Keeper states the PayPal integration requires lots of manual data input. This equates to higher book keeping bills. Their feedback states: It is the integration, it is slow clunky does not recognize already existing customers and you have to literally spend anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds on every single transaction. When it was a bank feed anybody that already was in the system I could do a select all and add and 30 seconds to 1 minute later hundreds of transactions could be entered at a time. So for example say Bob Smith is a customer even though Bob Smith is in QuickBooks it still wants to apply it to PayPal customer and not pick Bob Smith in our customer record. Is this normal? Any solutions? Thanks

We have QuickBooks Desktop and are wanting to process a sales receipt and process a payment using a credit card terminal.  How do we get a terminal and how to use/setup with desktop sales receipt.  We would like to use the swiped rate on a credit card sale not keyed.  

What is the current compatibility of QuickBooks for Mac 2020 desktop compatibility with macOS Ventura?  Thanks for your help, Ruby911

Do I need to create an account with that state?

Is there away to  access a 1099 report with all the information?

I am new to QBO.

Tried resetting and clearing cache, history, cookies, etc. Tried talking to someone at qb but they want my life history before they will help. Anyone else running into this issue?

How can I edit/update the figures found on the filing forms in the payroll tax center?

I can update my bank account but not my paypal account. It update itself every few days but the "update" button doesn't work.

I keep receiving error code 2147221164 Class not registered when trying to run a tax form worksheet in Excel.  We use a manual payroll and the report ran correctly in April 2020.  I called the Desktop help and they told me it was a Payroll issue and the payroll people told me they could not help me since we do not have a payroll subscription. Any ideas how to fix the issue

NEW FOLLOW UP QUESTION: (system will not allow me to reply to the original thread): Are you sure about this?  I think you're not understanding the point of my question. Typically, any paychecks that fall on a national holiday are run the day before.  July 4, 2025 fell on a Friday, but since it was a holiday (Independence Day), the paychecks were paid on THURSDAY July 3 instead. This upcoming year, January 1, 2027 will also fall on a Friday.  Since January 1 is ALSO a national holiday, wouldn't it be pushed back one day to THURSDAY December 31, 2026?  Meaning we end up with 27 paychecks for 2027. I'm asking because I want to know the official (and accurate) stance from Quickbooks on this, so employees can plan accordingly. ========================================= ORIGINAL QUICKBOOKS REPLY (probably incorrect): The paycheck on January 1, 2027, will not automatically move from QuickBooks to Thursday, December 31, 2026, because it will follow on your payroll schedule.

Hi, friends.  I encountered a glitch with entering data into Box 12DD for our W2s this year and wanted to share my accidental fix in case anyone else is having this issue.  First, the screen to edit boxes 12 and 13 was tricky to find this year.  It's at Payroll Taxes > Filings > Resources > W-2s > W-2 Copies B, C, & 2 (employee) > Edit Box 12/13. First of all, when I went to enter our Box 12DD totals per employee, every person we've ever employed appears on the list, not just the employees to receive W2s for last year. (thumbs down)  Then, only about 10 appear on the screen at a time so you must continually click "Load More".  (boo)  Heaven help you if you have hundreds of employees!.  The crux of the issue, though, is that after entering and submitting the Box 12DD data, none of it appeared on our W2s and were blank each time I reentered the Box 12/13 data entry screen.  I tried clearing my cache, using an incognito

As written in title; this error started occurring randomly a few days ago. Payments and other transactions will sync over from the sending application, but invoices are not sending, with this error.

Hello All, I have QBO Payroll core. There are 4 times of paid time off, vacation, pto, sick, and unpaid. Does anyone know if the categories can be renamed, or a new one added? I want to add School Activities and have it show up on the paystub. Apologies for the short and crude post, I've posted this 5 times now and keep getting an error on the posting. Having typed it multiple times, my patients have ran dry. Thanks.

The minimum size of the  Make Deposits is too large. Why can't I make it smaller? All other windows can be resized to be much smaller than the minimum size of the Make Deposits window. This is extremely frustrating.
