Buy nowI have received the error message that my payroll sign in was rejected and to wait 15 minutes. I have been waiting for 3 days for the issue to resolve. Any ideas? I have done everything suggested, waited 15 minutes, copied to notepad to make sure that I am typing in the correct password, restarted my computer, updated the payroll version ...I have not changed my PIN and I am needing to get direct deposit done ASAP.
Welcome to the Community, 2312mara.
The message you're receiving means that your PIN has been entered incorrectly too many times. The 15 minute lock out is in place for security reasons.
Since the PIN you're entering is incorrect, you'll have to fill out a replacement request and fax it to the phone number on your form. After sending it to our Assisted Payroll team, they'll email you back letting you know when the request has been completed.
I've included a detailed resource about working with payroll PINs which may come in handy moving forward: Error message - Invalid PIN
I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Hi Zach, thanks for getting back to me. That is my frustration. I have not changed my pin, in fact, it still works on all of my other company files. I just have one company file that I am receiving this error with. What do you suggest I try?
I know it's important to get your direct deposit flawlessly done, 2312mara. I'd be delighted to ensure this error gets fixed.
With this, I'd suggest reaching out to our QuickBooks Support Team. They're equipped with tools to determine why your payroll sign-in was rejected and ensure it won't happen again.
