Hi @adrienn-bors,
Let me lend you a hand so you can authorise QuickBooks Online (QBO) to interact with HMRC.
You have another way to enable MTD other than the Advanced tab in the Account and Settings page. Here are the steps:
In case you also don't have this option, try these steps:
If ever you still don't see the MTD option at this point, I suggest checking if your QBO company is for the UK region, and not for a different region. Another thing to check would be the home currency of the company. MTD in QBO currently supports GBP exclusively. Anyone of these two things I mentioned being true, then that would explain why you don't have this option available.
Detailed steps on how you can authorise QBO to interact with HRMC are found in this article: Authorise QuickBooks to interact with HMRC - MTD for small businesses. The steps listed in this article are coupled with pictures for easy reference.
I'll be around should you still need further assistance. Leave a question below, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Hi Ryan,
Thank you for your help, I have checked the other option under Edit VAT and MTD is turned on there, however I still get the message on the taxes tab that I have to authorize QB to interact with HMRC and I still don't have the MTD section under the Advanced tab.
I have cleared the browsing history, I have tried using a different browser, the company is set for GBP, not sure where to check if it's set for the UK region though?
Many thanks

Hello Community Users, we just wanted to pop in and add some tips for anyone having difficulty setting up Making Tax Digital.
Firstly, it takes approximately 72 hours after you have opted in to MTD on HMRC's website.
Then to enable MTD in QuickBooks, here's what you'll need to do:
Once done, to authorise QuickBooks to interact with HMRC, follow these steps:
That's it! Once you're able to complete this process, you can now submit VAT return for MTD through QuickBooks.
Note- Please check the date of your VAT period as you cannot file before the period ends it will block you from doing that. Also please check the VAT number is entered correctly in QuickBooks in the VAT settings and that you have the correct gateway details for the connection. By logging into HMRC gateway with those details.
