I am having difficulty submitting my FPS

Hi @julie cockayne,

 

I'll help ensure you're able to submit your FPS within QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

A common cause of rejection when submitting an FPS is the Government Gateway credentials entered. It's either not activated yet, or it was entered incorrectly. 

 

To activate your credentials, see this article for steps: Turn on RTI reporting to HMRC in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll.

 

Once done, follow these steps to check if the entered Gateway credentials are correct:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon. 
  2. Select Account and Settings.
  3. Hit the Payroll tab.
  4. Search for the Online filing with HMRC section, then click it. 
  5. Check if the entered credentials are correct. Make changes to it if necessary. 
  6. When finished, press Save, then Done.

In the future, if you'd like to view all your submitted FPS and EPS, view this article: View submitted FPS and EPS filings in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll. You can find a list of FAQs right at the bottom of the page.

Hello Windell-Callagha, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

What is happening when you are trying to submit your FPS?

My FPS is late due to the new payroll migration. However, I submitted an EPS to notify HMRC of my client's ER NI eligibility and that submitted without any issues. I have processed payroll and the run my reports but when I try and submit the FPS I get a message: "There was an issue submitting your filing. Wait a moment and try again. If the problem continues, contact us."

Hello Windell-callagha, 

 

Been speaking to one of our engineers and it was down yesterday. Do you have any previous FPS that hasn't been submitted in relation to march, that is showing in payroll taxes section, if you do delete them and then try submitting the April one.

No, there are no outstanding FPS's for March as I have completed my year end and processed / submitted everything for that year.

I had the same problem for months and wasted so much time trying to resolve it.  The solution is to delete any of last years entries and then submit chronologically.
