Change name of payroll contact

Payroll was set up by someone who was QBO Master Admin but who no longer works for us. We have have a new Master Admin.  However, emailed payroll notifications (it’s time to submit, wages have been paid, taxes have been paid,.etc ..) are still addressed to the name of the former employee. How to change the name?

Hello, finance139.

 

It looks like the name under the Primary Contact in the Payroll Settings isn't updated yet. I have just the steps to help you change this:  

 

  1. Click the gear icon, then select Payroll settings
  2. Under the Overview tab, click Contact Information.
  3. Update the name on the fields. You can also click the Edit link at the bottom part.
  4. Once done, click OK

I'm using QBO.  There is no Overview tab in Payroll Settings.

Hello there, finance139.

 

This might have something to do with a browser issue. The browser might be having too much cache that makes the QuickBooks feature not responding properly. Below are the things that we can try on to resolve this unexpected behavior:

 

  1. Refresh your browser by clicking the Reload icon or pressing F5 on your keyboard.
  2. If the same thing happens, we can try logging in to your account in a private browser. Then, check if the Overview tab is there. This mode doesn't store cache that's why we recommend using it.
  • Google Chrome: Ctrl Shift N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl Shift P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl Shift P
  • Safari: Command Shift N

 

If it works fine, we can clear the cache of your regular browser. This helps remove any browser-related issues and refresh your browser's settings. Aside from that, you can use other compatible browsers in QuickBooks Online. Here are they:

 

  • Mozilla
  • Google Chrome
  • Microsoft Edge
  • For Safari, make sure to use the latest one.

 

To manage payroll schedules or if you want to run payroll reports soon, you can check these articles for additional guide:

 

 

You can always post here if you ever need anything else with QuickBooks. I'll be around to back you up. Stay safe!

I'm not using QBO in a browser, I'm using it by running an app (QBO ver 4.2.1) in Windows 10.

Thanks for getting back to us, finance139.

 

It seems that you have the new Payroll Settings interface for QuickBooks Online. With that said, you can go to the General Tax section. This is where you can change the filing name. 

 

If you're still unable to update the details, you can contact our Payroll Support Team. They can review your account and provide you additional steps to get through with this: Contact Payroll Support.

 

Feel free to get back to us if you need more assistance in correcting your payroll information.

Thanks for coming back to the Community, finance139.


I’ll be your guide today so you can change the old master administrator’s name to the new one. Here’s how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon at the top to choose Payroll settings under Your Company.
  2. On the Payroll Settings page, click the Pencil icon for General tax.gt.png
  3. In the Company General Tax Information screen, go to the Filing name section and enter the correct master administrator’s name in the field box.ps.pnggt.pnggt.1.png
  4. Press the OK button to save the changes.

However, if you’re unable to change the payroll contact information, I recommend you get in touch with our Payroll Support Team. They can update the name for you in a secure space and ensure all payroll notifications are sent to the new master admin.


For future reference, let me share this article that contains resources to guide you on how to easily perform payroll tasks: Workers and employees.

The General Tax heading (or "tab") is absent from our Payroll Settings window.  Any chance that this is because we are a non-profit?

Our window lists:

CARES Act

Email notifications

Shared Data

Bank Accounts

Direct Deposit

Printing

We need to change the billing account and name for Constantine Township.  Both names are either no longer with the Township or have nothing to do with the accounting.  How do we do this?
