QBO Compliance Leads to IRS Issues

As you may have read from my previous post, QBO said PO Boxes are NOT in Compliance with themselves.

A recap here - QBO forced us to use a physical address for our W-2s and 1099s instead of our PO Box, which is what is listed with ALL government agencies.  They said we had to in order for us to be in compliance with "their rules".  Otherwise, we are not allowed to use their Payroll or Pay and file payroll reports.  However, my client's office is on his personal property and all of his business mail has always gone to the same PO Box since the beginning of his business almost 18 years ago.  He does not want his employees and contractors knowing where he lives, so he did not want his physical address listed.  Instead, I used my physical address.

 

Consequently the Internal Revenue Service has changed my client's PO mailing address to my physical address.  Which meant I had to call in and as most of you know, wait and wait for a live person in order to get that mailing address changed back to the PO address so my client could get his mail.  I explained to the Internal Revenue Service what QBO did and the representative said she wished she could help, because QBO causes all sorts of problems that is brought to the Internal Revenue Service's  attention.  She went on to say there was nothing they could do about QBO's policies and they would if they could.

 

I am asking each of you that have the same issues and those of you who may not, but are in agreement to request that QBO change their address system BACK to the way it was.  They use to allow two (2) addresses.  One address for Direct Deposits and second address for Payroll Filing.  NOW it is only one address and that address cannot be a PO Box.  Which is causing us all sorts of ongoing issues.

Thank you.  In the past 12 years or so I have submitted many feedbacks.  To my knowledge that never did any good.  I an try again, but I know in all honesty that QBO really isn't interested and if it takes effort on their part, they let things slide.  They take the easy way out each time.

QBO Compliance Leads to IRS Issues

Well it is the end of 2022 and this issue is obviously not resolved.  I just spent quality time (again) with quickbooks straightening out the address issue so I could send a direct deposit, I HAD to change the address to a physical which is NOT where mail is received nor is it the address that the IRS has for us.  When I asked the question what to do about it, I was told (chatted) to override the address every time on IRS Docs.  I am so frustrated with quickbooks.
