Hi there, zhua1216-gmail-c.

Upon viewing the attachment, the number you entered is eight digits only. The Kentucky Employer Identification Number (KEIN) should be nine digits.

You can also contact our QuickBooks Support Team to ensure the correct KEIN is entered. They're equipped with tools to guide you through the process.
