I cannot view my EIN in QB online. It's showing x's. How can I view this?

Let me help you view your EIN in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @jasonwmu.

 

In QBO, the EIN is considered sensitive information. For security reasons, the last four digits can be visible in the company settings and Federal Tax Info, which is why it shows x's. This practice aligns with the security purpose of protecting sensitive details.

 

To update or view the EIN in QBO, you'll need to go through a quick phone OTP (One-Time Passcode) verification to continue.

 

If you want to view EIN in your company settings, you can follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Settings icon and select Account and Settings.
  2. Select the Company Name section.
  3. Click on the Edit EIN to view it.

  4. A prompt message will appear, requesting to check your phone.
  5. Once OTP is received, enter the code in QuickBooks.
  6. Click Continue to view.

 

On the other hand, here's how to view EIN in the Federal Tax Info section:

 

  1. Go to the Settings icon and select Payroll Settings.
  2. Select the Federal Tax tab, then click on the Edit icon.

  3. Click on the View/Edit button.

  4. Once OTP is received, enter the code in QuickBooks.
  5. Click Continue to view or edit.
