I appreciate the complete details you've provided, @info910.

 

Stored data can affect your browser's performance and behavior. Let's access your QuickBooks Online account using a private browser.

 

Here are some keyboard shortcuts you can try:

  • For Chrome, press Ctrl+Shift+N
  • For Internet Explorer or Firefox, press Ctrl+Shift+P.
  • For Safari, hold down Command+Shift+N.

If you're able to update your employer information without any error, I'd recommend clearing your regular browser's cache. Also, to check any issues with your browser’s health and its compatibility with QuickBooks Online, you can run the Browser Health Checkup Tool.

I also get the exact same error.

I have used three different browsers and the Quickbooks app and still cannot update my HMRC PAYE reference number, because of this I am now late in subitting my very first payroll through Quickbooks - Never had a single issue like this for the whole 5 years of using 121CloudPayroll and makes me think I made a huge mistake moving to Quickbooks.

Please get this sorted ASAP!

Hello Pennytranter1, thanks for posting on this thread, does your details match what HMRC have sent to you? so it is normally 4 things that need to be correct which are the PAYE, Office ref, user ID and password. Please can you check all 4 of those as well. Thanks 


All the information is right - I've been on the HMRC portal to check that the login details and reference numbers are correct.

I'm not sure what else I can check but if all else fails, I'll have to ring Customer Services.
