What does the error message"KP-TFND-0002 Object reference not set to an instance of the object" ?

It’s essential for these processes to work seamlessly, and I appreciate your diligence in entering the Tax File Number (TFN) details, JS62. I'm happy to assist you in ensuring everything is set up correctly, so we can resolve this quickly.

 

This error can occur for several reasons, such as incorrect or incomplete information in the tax file declaration, or issues with the connection to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

 

Please double-check the employee details you entered during setup. Ensure all mandatory fields are filled out correctly, particularly the TFN and related information. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Employees.
  2. Choose the employee's name from the home page.
  3. Under Employee Settings, select Tax File Declaration.

 

If everything is set up correctly and you still receive the error message, you can log in to the ATO portal to check for any ongoing issues or maintenance.

 

If the problem persists and there are no issues with the ATO, contact our Live Support Team. They can investigate further and assist with QuickBooks navigation through a screen-sharing session. Please refer to our support hours assistance promptly.

 

Here's how to reach them:

 

  1. Click the Help icon in the upper right corner.
  2. Go to the Search tab and enter your concern.
  3. Select Contact Us and choose a way to connect with us.
