Trying to change the Company Name & get a message that doing this will disable e-services & unable to save the new name. How can I turn off e-services?

As of not I have tried to save the company name change but get a message that doing so will disable e-services and it will not allow the change to save. I do not see the option under Payroll Settings to disable E-services. How can I change the company name and keep e-services?

I am having the same issue and even contacted a CSR who was unable to help me after over an hour on the phone. Shouldn't we be able to change the company name just in our Quickbooks account? I'll be interested to see if you ever had a resolution to this

Hi there, ksuk.

I can share a way to change your company name and other information in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

The error you’ve encountered is usually caused if you have active electronic services in your QuickBooks Online Payroll. synced to your QBO company file. To get around that prompt message and proceed to change your company name, you’ll need to turn off it first before updating in QBO

After changing them from your Payroll account, you can proceed to the steps below to continue in your QBO:

Go to the Gear icon and select Account and Settings.
In the Company tab, tap the Edit icon to update some information.
Then, click Save and Done.

Moreover, I’ve added an article here where you can refer to the steps for changing the company name or other information in your payroll plan. Before doing so, please take note of all reminders to avoid messing up your records: Update your legal business name and address

Feel free to reply to this thread whenever you need further assistance amending information. Have a good one!
