I sent the invite to my employee but they didn’t see it. What should I do?

If your employee can’t find their invite:

  1. Have them check their spam or junk folder.
  2. Make sure their email address is correct.
    Note: If your employee has access to QuickBooks Online, make sure they use a different email for Workforce than the one they use to sign in to QuickBooks Online.
  3. Try resending the invitation again.

My employee already accepted the invite, but has a new email address. How do I update it?

Why can't my employee see their W-2 in QuickBooks Workforce?

W-2s are automatically sent to QuickBooks Workforce once Intuit files them. They’re typically available by January 31.

If you disabled Allow employees to import W-2 data into TurboTax your employees won’t see their W-2 in Workforce.

  1. Select Settings ⚙, then Payroll Settings.
  2. In the section titled Shared Data, select Edit ✎.
  3. Check the box Allow employees to import W-2 data into TurboTax.

If you use QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Assisted, the W-2s are typically available after January 15.

You need to upload the W-2s at the time you submit them by checking the box Provide employees with secure online access to their W-2 forms on Intuit’s free QuickBooks Workforce site and in Intuit TurboTax.
