It is my first month with QB online - I cant seem to send my FPS to HMRC? It says there is a problem but doesn't say what?

Hello Nicola321, 

Welcome to the Community page, 

Can we ask which payroll you are using is it advanced or standard?

Could you send us a screenshot of what it is saying when you try and submit your FPS to HMRC, please? 

Same problem for me and not getting much help with answers!

Hello, windell-callagha.

You'll want to make sure that you've reported real-time information (RTI) to HMRC, including the payments, deductions, and contributions to successfully submit FPS to HMRC. Also, it's recommended that you set ur for RTI before running payroll even if you don't pay an employee for a tax month.

This is to ensure that payroll tax information is submitted to HMRC. Please check this article for more information: Turn On RTI Reporting to HMRC.

Reach out to us if you need further assistance. We're always here to help.
