Can not connect to vat

Hello, chrissharpconstr.

Helping you connect to Vat is my priority. Let's get you connected.

Before connecting to Vat, you'll need to authotrise QuickBooks to interact with HMRC. To complete this process, see the detailed steps below.

Step 1: Enable MTD in QuickBooks:

1. Go to Taxes on the left panel.
2. Click on Let's go.

If you have dismissed this message, follow the steps below to enable MTD:

1. Click on the Gear icon, then Account and Settings.
   
2. In the Accounts and Settings page, select Advanced on the left menu.
3. Then, click on the Making Tax Digital header to expand the section.  Click on Learn how to connect.
   
4. On the Get started with digital tax page, click on Let's go.
   

To authotrise QuickBooks, here's how:

1. Upon clicking on Let's go, you'll be directed to HMRC page as shown below. Click Continue to sign in.
   
2. Enter your HMRC credentials to sign in.
   
3. Once logged in, click on Grant authority to continue. The authorisation process will begin.
   
4. Once the authorisation has been given, you will receive a 'You're connected to HMRC message as below. Click Continue.
   
5. When the process has been completed, click on Take a look.
   
    

Once you have completed this process, the Making Tax Digital badge will be enabled on the Taxes page.

You can now submit your VAT return for MTD through QuickBooks. If you've already done the steps above and you're getting an error while connecting to Vat, I'd suggest reaching out to our QuickBooks Online Support for further investigation. Agents have the necessary tools to get you back up and running.
