Hi Leslie!

 

Let me provide more info about being the primary admin.

 

As I mentioned in the previous reply, the Permission Letter is required when you want to become the primary admin but you're not the business owner nor the majority owner. You only need to let the owner or the majority owner write a simple letter telling that they want you to be their primary admin. Make sure that it is signed and there is a photo ID attached of the signee.

 

When you submit it, you also need to attach the documents you submitted before. This includes any business document indicating the owner/leadership by name and title or owner's business license and your photo ID.

 

Our team needs to verify the info before they approve your request. This is because Intuit wants to protect the account and business' data.

 

Please review this article: Request to be the primary admin or contact. From the What type of business is this? section, you'll see the other requirements for the primary admin claim/request based on the business type. Please check also the Important section so that your request will be approved.

Welcome to the Community, @malvarezgomez. Each type of business and ownership has a different list of documentation you'll need to submit.

 

Review the following section under Step 1: Gather documents for your request to find out what you need to provide in this help article: Request to be the primary admin or contact

 

Additionally, here's another article with the steps to guide you in transferring the admin role in QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

Feel free to get back to this post if you need more help. I'll be delighted to answer your next posts.

I have reviewed both of these steps before. I am not sure what information I need to include on the permission letter. My original request was denied and they asked me to resend all information with a permission letter. 

Does the permission letter permit the change of primary admin account?

Hello malvarezgomez!

 

Thanks for the reply. Allow me to help you in changing the primary admin.

 

The Permission Letter is required when you want to become the primary admin but you're not the business owner nor the majority owner. This letter must be signed by the owner or majority owner and include the photo ID when you submit it.

 

If the current primary admin is still part of the company, you don't need to submit any document. Just let them transfer the role to the new primary contact. You can find the detailed steps here: Transfer the primary admin role in QuickBooks Desktop.

Hello Alex, 

 

Yes, I realize that I need the permission letter to move forward. What do I include in this permission letter ?

I would like to know what information is needed in the permission letter so the request is not rejected again.

Hi DebSheenD, 

 

I have submitted all of the documentation and was denied my request to become a primary admin. Afterwards, they requested to resubmit the request with a permission letter. 

I need to know what information do I need to include in the permission letter or if there is a specific format for this letter? 

 

Thanks,

Leslie
