receipts forwarding not working for verified email

Hello, 

 

Im a relatively new Quick book Self Employment user. So far i'm getting along well with it. But, one major feature i'm really struggling with is getting the receipt forwarding function working.

 

I am forwarding all my receipts from my verified emailed address, and I've checked my setting for receipt forwarding and they are correct, but when i forward a receipt, I get a reply email from Quickbooks saying:

 

We're sorry, we can't process your forwarded receipt
You recently tried to forward a receipt to [email address removed]. We couldn’t process the receipt because the email address it was forwarded from is not set up for receipt forwarding.


Now, it used to work. I had to change my original email that i signed up with to my new email a couple of weeks ago. but i changed all my account settings and verified my email and made sure that is the email set up for forwarding. and i just don't know what else to do to get it to work. this was a key feature for me as i do a LOT of online buying transactions for my business.
But it is sending to the correct address.

 

any help would be greatly appreciated. thankyou

First, let's make sure you're using a registered email for it work. Then, make sure it was set up correctly. 

 

Lastly, if it's still not working, I suggest getting in touch with our customer care support to have your receipt forwarding feature set up checked. Here's how:

  1. Open this link: https://help.quickbooks.intuit.com/en_GB/contact?.
  2. Choose QuickBooks Self-Employed.
  3. Fill in the fields, then click Ask Your Question.

An agent will reply to you within 1 business day.

 

Of course, you can always post in the Community if you have other concerns.

I have the same exact problem. It is almost like I wrote your message! They can’t figure it out. They have reset me twice and I get the same message. This really sucks. Did they ever figure it out fo you?

Hi there, @pembosmith.

 

It needs to reset the receipt forwarding feature to fix the issue and only our support team has the tools to process the resetting. And I'd like to redirect you to them.

 

Since it requires your account information, I suggest contacting our QuickBooks Support Team. This way, they can check on your account in a secure environment and help you reset the receipt forwarding feature.

 

To reach them, you can follow the detailed steps provided by my colleague MikiD above.

Please know that you can always get back to this post if you have any other questions. We're always here to help.

I have the same problem but Intuit support has been really poor. They've had the problem for weeks and are passing it around but have failed to resolve it. Pretty poor and very annoying.

Hello there, mikeotaylor. I appreciate you for getting in touch about this.

 

I see can the importance of using the receipts forwarding to work for a verified email in QuickBooks Self-Employed. And, I see you've been with our support team, and I wouldn't like you to experience that way. 

 

Since you're still experiencing this problem, it would be best to contact our specialist. This needs to perform some investigation using their tools in a secure environment. You can utilise the Assistant from the top bar to get another specialist and work you with the issue.

Has this issue been resolved yet? I also reached out to the support team to get some assistance with my receipt forwarding feature not working either. Like the original poster, I had been using receipt forwarding up until I had changed and verified the email associated with my account, now ever since the forwarding feature no longer works.

Unfortunately the response from the Quickbooks team wasn't helpful at all, and no information was given to provide me with a solution, rather they closed my case. ( As seen below)

"Thank you for requesting updates on QBSE (US/CA) - Unable to forward receipts. After a, thorough evaluation our engineers have been unable to reproduce the report behavior. As a result, we’ve closed the current investigation. If new information surfaces we may re-open this investigation. We appreciate your understanding.

There will be no further updates on this issue."

It appears this has been an ongoing issue for years now and it's quite surprising that the internal team has not solved this yet.

Good day, @chantalde.

 

Thank you for joining the thread and sharing an update about your case. 

 

As of the moment, all of the related cases with regards to receipt forwarding have been closed. 

 

​​​​​​​Since you're still experiencing the same issue, I'd recommend running some basic troubleshooting steps to fix it. Sometimes local internet cache files stored in the system can cause unexpected behavior in the product. This can be the reason why you're unable to use the receipt forwarding feature.

 

To start, access your account in a private window. It is also known as InPrivate in Internet Explorer and Incognito mode in Google Chrome. This doesn't record the browsing activity on your local device. You can access this by pressing the following keys:

 

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome).
  • Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox).
  • Control + Option + P (Safari).

 

If you're able to use it again, then let's clear the cache in your web browser or try using a different supported browser. This could be a temporary issue with QuickBooks and the current browser that you use.

 

If the issue persists, reach out to our QuickBooks Phone Support. They have the available tools that could reset this feature and fix it. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Assistant icon and type in "Talk to a human", then press Enter.
  2. Enter the same keyword (Talk to a human) when prompted. 
  3. Click I still need a human.
  4. Choose between Message an agent and Get a callback.

 

Please check out our support hours to ensure that we address your concerns on time.

 

Also, our Help articles might have something that can help you with your other QuickBooks concerns, too. Just make sure that the topic is set as "QuickBooks Self-Employed" to browse for related posts.

 

The Community always has your back, so please let me know if you have any other questions. I'll be more than happy to help. Keep safe.

It was eventually fixed when they finally escalated it, which took perseverance from me, and patience with being told to visit the knowledge base, reset etc.

I have the exact same issue, which happened for the same reason. What is frustrating is that no one on "support" or in the "community" seemed to be in the loop, despite the bug being reported for more than two years.

Hey, ReymondO. I followed your advice and contacted an agent. They simply said "this will definitely be fixed" and closed the chat. No timeline, no accountability. Pretty terrible service.
