Quickbooks Workforce

Not sure if there is a solution to this problem.  QB support has declined to the point that it feels actually useless.  I set up QB Workforce.  Sent two test invites out to one employee and myself (payroll administrator).  Employee 1 accepted and was able to set up account.  Me, I accepted the invite, followed the link to set up account, the nightmare started here.  There was an endless circle round and round until it timed out.  This went on for two days, no success.  I tried to use my secondary email address, same result.  QB support was useless, as they didn't understand my question, kept stating the obvious, saying I need to set up my account after accepting the invitation, um, yes, but it's timing out and not successful. How do I set up my Workforce account after my first and second invitation has been ruined.  Workforce can't recover my account because it says its in use, but there's no way it could be in use as I never successfully finished creating an account. I also tried another web browser.  While taking steps to recover my account from either email address, a series of dead end errors display.  Ex:  "! Something's not quite right"  "Ooops something went wrong"  "Hmm your account cannot be found"  "That username is already registered"  Of course each time I try to reset a password, one of the above messages display.  The person who can solve this will be placed on a virtual pedestal.  :)

I'll be sure to assist you in resolving this SSN issue, DjunaDrain

 

The "social security number already in use" message may be appearing because you have an inactive employee in your QuickBooks Online account who has that same SSN. Or it could be that the individual was previously paid as a contractor using that SSN, rather than as a full-time employee.

 

You'll want to review your existing employee and contractor records to identify any previous usage of that social security number before you can successfully add the new employee.

 

  1. Navigate the Payroll tab and then select Employees.
  2. From the Active Employees drop-down menu, click Inactive Employees.
  3. Locate the employee with the matching SSN and then activate their record.

 

Once you've verified that no other employees or contractors are using the same SSN, I would suggest contacting our Payroll Support team so they can pull up your account and fix the issue for you.

 

In addition, you can generate payroll reports to view important information about your business and employees.

 

If you encounter more challenges managing employees, feel free to tag me. I'm here to provide additional support whenever you need it.
