How to get access to change the unemployment Insurance sections of the state payroll taxes

I’ve run into that before in QBO Payroll, the state UI account fields are locked down in most cases. They’re not tied to the employee record, so adjusting classes or employee settings won’t help. Usually, you have to go through the Payroll Tax Settings page (Taxes - Payroll Tax - State Taxes - Idaho). If it’s still grayed out there, that means it’s restricted, and only Intuit support can update it on the backend. Annoying, but the quickest path is to call/chat support and ask them to unlock or replace the account number for you. I’ve had them fix it in a few minutes once I provided the state ID letter.

1. Click the (?) Help icon.
2. Go to the Search tab, then enter “Payroll support” in the search bar.
3. Select Contact Us, then choose either the Chat or Callback option.
   
   

If the QBO  subscription has been inactive since 2018 and we are now re-subscribiung to start owner payroll with a new UI account, the UI is editable, can we proceed with new account number? Or do I need to contact support? I'm guessing it's able to be edited and will update because the account was made inactive many years ago? Thoughts?
